Learning to Draw Workshops by Beverly Fuqua

Learning To Draw: Workshops I , II & III

  • Beginners Workshop I – June 4 – 8, 2012 10:30am – 3pm
  • Intermediate Workshop II – July 9 – 13, 2012 10:30am – 3pm
  • Advanced Workshop III – August 6 – 10, 2012 10:30am – 3pm

3 Workshops—3 Levels

Learning the Basics is the most important element to being able to draw. The second is practice, practice, practice. These 5 day workshops will give you the foundation to be a great artist in any medium you choose.

Each workshop builds upon the next, if you have never drawn before I recommend taking the first workshop. These workshops are also great for the seasoned artist to take time and get back to basics.

5 Day WKSHP $150 (IAA Mbrs. $125). To register and for more about the instructor, the curriculum and supply lists, view the Learning To Draw – 2012 Brochure.
