NEW COURSE ALERT 🚨 🦁

Anyone Can Draw: The Drawing Class for People Who Think They Can’t Draw but Want To - Summer 2025

Humans have been drawing since the dawn of time. We see these things in the cave paintings around the world. Before the camera was invented everyone who wanted to draw taught themselves. But the more common the camera became the less common drawing became. Eventually only “artists” drew. Drawing is not some magical talent bestowed upon “artists” by the gods. If you can write a note, give it to someone and they can read it, you can draw. You have proven you have the eye-hand coordination for the activity.

Course price of $335
