Drawing for absolute beginners

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Anyone can draw ... this means you!  In this enjoyable introductory class, aimed at total, absolute beginners, we'll work our way through a number of exercises designed to train the eye, hand and imagination to work as a unit or a team.  Most students see a striking improvement in their artwork by the second or third class meeting. For people who have not drawn before or would like a refresher in the basics.  Nothing to bring or buy. All materials are provided. More Seattle art classes

STUDENT COMMENTS

I liked the opportunity to learn the basics in a non threatening environment.  (unsigned; comment submitted online)

Nils, Just wanted to let you know that I completed my application to the Game Animation Certificate program, and as of a week ago received notice of my acceptance. One of my portfolio pieces was a charcoal figure based upon one of the exercises from class - and of course, I'd never touched charcoal before meeting you. Thanks again for all the tips and encouragement! Your classes really helped polish my skills and boost my confidence a great deal. -- J.C. (Seattle)

The class was well organized and you took us along step-by-step. - Mary J. (Redmond)

Your teaching style was a pleasure to learn by and I enjoyed your class very much.. - Ruth B. (Seattle)

I was the redhead who drove in every week from Tacoma. It was worth it. You really have something going if you can take someone like me and turn me into an artist, well, a beginning artist anyway! But that's way ahead of where I was. Thanks again Nils! - R.M. (Tacoma)

Thanks for taking some time before the class to help me figure out which class I should take. You weren't just trying to "sell" me a class, you helped me find the one that would be a good next step for me. - M.J. (Seattle)
