Drawing 101 begins tonight

It's been a busy couple weeks around here. I started teaching oil painting for an Artist-In-Residence program at the Gardiner school at the beginning of the month. And tonight, Drawing 101 begins at the Gallery. I'm all set up and ready to go - and really looking forward to it. It's often said that drawing is the basis for all art. It's a great skill to work on. We're going to try to improve drawing skills and start the habit of a sketchbook / journal. So look for some posting of sketches this month.

“Drawing is seeing; it is engaging with things more attentively, more passionately, than one does in day-to-day experiences. That engagement is the beginning of all art.”
