Learn basics including line, shape, value, scale, rhythm, and light. Work in black and white using a viewfinder and charcoal learning composition and shading. Then, work in pen and ink and wash learning free-flowing pen and brush lines and shading with cross-hatching, stippling and wash. Next, we work with pencil to learn basic perspective. Students may draw from their choice of subject matter including still life set-ups, flowers & other nature objects, from photographs or their imagination using a variety of approaches to provide a well rounded introduction to drawing. Plus, learn an easy, economical way to mat and frame finished pieces.

Advanced students or those who have taken a class with Stephanie can work in their choice of any drawing/painting media, with instructor working with them individually.
