Instructor: Joyce Capen

Ready to swap stick figures for something a little more… impressive? In this beginner-friendly, two-part class, we’ll start at the very beginning—because every masterpiece begins with a pencil and a plan. In Session One, you’ll explore essential drawing tools and materials, from pencils and erasers to paper and blending stumps (yes, that’s a real thing, and yes, it’s fun to use). You’ll experiment with lines, shapes, shading, and mark-making, building the foundation for confident sketching.

Session Two turns up the creativity as we put those tools and techniques into practice. You’ll learn how to observe like an artist, break down complex subjects into simple forms, and add depth with light, shadow, and texture. Whether you’re sketching your coffee cup, your cat, or your daydreams, you’ll leave with new skills, fresh inspiration, and maybe even a few drawings you’ll want to show off.

No experience needed—just curiosity, a sense of humor, and a willingness to see the world a little differently (through artist eyes!).
