Upcoming Workshops & Classes

I am teaching several workshops and classes starting next weekend!
On September 7 and 14 I'm teaching a two-part workshop at the Dixon Gallery and Gardens: Your Day in Sketches/The World in Sketches
In the first class we'll learn about using our sketchbooks to tell the stories of our days, finding easy ways to draw throughout our daily tasks and to keep up with the practice of sketching. 
The second class will build on Your Day in Sketches - we will learn about telling the stories of big places and moments (travel, iconic buildings, local landmarks) in sketches, looking at composition, proportions, focal points, and planning. With these two classes you'll be ready for whatever subject you can find!

On September 10 and 17 I'm teaching a two-part Observational Drawing class at Flicker Street Studio.
​We'll work on observational drawing skills by taking it slow and getting to know our subjects by looking hard and describing with our tools.
