During the sixth class, you'll have the opportunity to get tips and feedback from the instructor. Students may work in watercolor and/or colored pencil. The class will be held online and is open to all levels. Suitable for teens 14+.

Delve deeply into the art of graphite drawing. Using simple botanical subjects, this two-day online class will give students confidence in accurately depicting various fruits and vegetables.
