This is the perfect series for artists who love to work in pencil AND for painters, especially watercolorists, who wish to improve their painting skills by first improving their drawing skills. Bring your realistic drawings to the next level by honing in on different techniques that will enhance the 3-D illusion of your subject matter.

​

This interactive online session consists of a live demo, time to work virtually together or alone, followed by a voluntary art share and critique.
