Workshops
Drawing Figures with Lea Price - Monday afternoons January 13, 20 and 27 (3 half days)
Drawing people may seem like a daunting challenge but by starting with simple techniques and learning how to "see" is the best foundation to build your skill. Beginning with stick figures and looking at basic structure to moving forward to gesture drawing to full figures begins a journey to understanding drawing people and animals.

She will break down how to start a pastel art piece, how to use the materials efficiently and effectively to produce life-like paintings.
