Ever wanted to learn to draw, but don’t feel you have enough time? Join local artist Jay Myers for a hands-on workshop that starts where most drawing instruction doesn't — with your mindset.
Before picking up a pencil, we'll explore the same approach behind Jay's book 15 Minutes to Art, developed over fifteen years of daily drawing: how to work within constraints, reframe the inner voice, and find the freedom inside the box. Then we'll put it into practice with tube anatomy, a foundational technique used by professional illustrators and animators for building expressive, dynamic figures from simple shapes. It's more approachable than you'd expect, and by the end of class you'll walk away with tools to build drawing skills and your very own character design.
Ages 8+ welcome.
>>> Participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult who remains in the studio at all times.
What to Expect:
2 hours of guided instruction
Step-by-step drawing techniques for building dynamic, expressive figures
All materials provided
Add-On: Take home a signed copy of Jay's book 15 Minutes to Art for $15
