Drawing well is the cornerstone of art. It requires instruction, practice, and discipline. However, the artist’s best tool is not his pencil or paintbrush, but rather, a trained eye. If one wants to learn to draw realistic images of objects being observed, one needs to “learn to see.” The eye is the tool and one trains the eye by careful observation and drawing. Winston Churchill once said, “Give us the tools and we shall do the job”. I claim that without the tools it is very difficult, if not impossible, to do the job well. After accurately drawing the image, students will learn various techniques to add color to their drawings using watercolor, color pencil, and oil pastel.

This class continues to train students how to draw and paint what is seen, rather than what the student thinks he sees. It improves right-brain problem solving skills, concentration, and seeing in context, through step-by step instruction. This type of instruction trains to eye, enabling the student to produce more realistic art and improves academic skills.

Classes start week of September 9, 2025 and last 1 1/2 hours each week for 1 semester.

Class fee is $380 for the semester or $95 per month.

Art lessons for children ages 5 – 11 necessarily requires much practice in learning to control drawing materials, so that the students learn to consistently create the various types of lines, dots, and circles that compose the drawing vocabulary. These lessons eventually help teach the children to create recognizable objects. Students learn to control line using dot-to-dot exercises, spatial relationship exercises, and directed drawing exercises.

Leonardo da Vinci stated, "Draw, draw, and draw again, then you can draw a carrot".

Thomas Edison said, "Talent is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration.”

These quotes by talented innovators teach us that hard work and effort is required to be successful in any field of endeavor.

Sometimes students do better in private one-on-one than in group lessons. If you are interested in one-on-one instruction for yourself or your student, please contact me to see if there are any openings available.

Class fee is $60 per hour, $90 per 1 1/2 hour, and $120 per 2 hours.
