This course is for experienced artists to advance their drawing skills, enhance their confidence and efficiency.

Through demonstration, in-class exercises, and at-home practice (optional), the artist will learn to trust their line and embellish their visual accuracy and ability to translate what they see to paper or canvas.

In-classroom drills will help you to capture imagery, eliminate wasted lines, and also help each artist to find and enhance their artistic vocabulary. For the novice artist that already draws, right up to semi-professional & professional artists, this class can bring your acumen to that next level.

Working in pencil, pen, and charcoal additional media can be utilized. Adjusted for each person’s current skill, this fun, upbeat and unique class is based upon the KLM (Kirk Larsen Method) which accelerates the learning curve in art.
