Pencil Basics Class @ Rectangle Gallery and Creative Space | Centralia | Washington | United States

How many times have you said the words…I’d like to be an artist but…? As an art teacher I’ve heard many people say them many, many times. Most people love to draw as kids but give it up when they get older. This doesn’t mean they can’t do good art, it just means they haven’t learned how. As with any skill, learning the basics is important and teaching people basic art skills is my specialty.

I’m teaching a beginning art class called, Pencil Basics. In two hours you’ll gain valuable foundation art skills that will serve you well, whether you’re a beginning artist or looking to fill in your skills set.

Why wait to learn how to draw? You don’t have to. Tuesday night is right around the corner.
