“I always thought my role was to be the person appreciating other people’ art. Now I’m creating my own art. I’ve been drawing for less than a year and I’m just thrilled.” – Cathie M.

Anyone can learn to draw. The first step is learning to see like an artist. You will learn this simple technique in Valerie’s Basic Drawing Class.
