Figure drawing is an essential skill for artists, helping to refine observational abilities and enhance understanding of the human form. My Vancouver Drawing Classes provide a practical, hands-on experience for all skill levels. You can join as a complete beginner or as an intermediate artist looking to enhance your skills.
In every drawing class, we learn a new topic. My syllabus covers all necessary topics over 8 cohesive months.
After the first class, you’ll feel much more comfortable drawing. After 6 classes, you’ll see an improvement in your drawing skills.
