Art students want to paint straight away. Truly, it is fun to paint! But, great drawing is silently evident in most successful paintings, and painting students often point out their own drawing limitations. This is an introductory three-session drawing course held in a relaxed gallery/studio atmosphere. Each lesson will introduce a common challenge when learning to draw and include instructor demonstration, visual references, vocabulary, and student practice. Students will share their in-studio creations, and evaluate their progress. About Diane Dubreuil:​ Diane Dubreuil is recognized most often for her skills as a watercolor artist.
