OCTOBER-NOVEMBER WORKSHOPS
beginning serious drawing course
Want to learn to draw more accurately? Join our Sight-Size Drawing Class, designed for serious students ready to study drawing through the classical atelier method.
Using the Charles Bargue and Jean-Léon Gérôme drawing course, you’ll build a strong foundation in proportion, observation, structure, light, and shading. Working from carefully selected plaster casts and plates from The Art of Drawing, you’ll learn how to see and draw with greater accuracy, patience, and confidence.
This class is an opportunity to slow down, sharpen your eye, and study drawing the old-fashioned way—through focused practice, discipline, and careful observation. Whether you’re beginning your artistic journey or looking to strengthen your fundamentals, this course will help you develop the skills needed for serious representational drawing.
Perfect for students who are committed to learning, practicing, and improving their craft.
