Drawing Fundamentals Class

In-person classes cancelled until further notice due to Covid-19
However, I am working on making the class available to be taken online. Sign up for updates:

Forget talent–drawing is a skill that is developed through practice. In this class, we will discuss and practice different techniques which can help anyone learn to draw, or improve their current skill level–even those who “can’t even draw a stick figure.” Students will learn techniques to improve their perception of the world around them, and then translate that into lines on paper. They’ll also learn basic artistic vocabulary and apply it in discussion and practice. At the end of this course, students will have a solid artistic foundation for creating beautiful representational art, as well as an improved understanding and perception of the world around them.

For more information about the course, you can email me at sarahluannart AT gmail DOT com, or you can use the contact form on this site--just click on "contact" in the site menu.

Recently I put together a youtube video of my (somewhat ramble-y, but hopefully still interesting) thoughts on why I think drawing is a GREAT hobby. The video includes timelapses of a few of my recent sketches.
