Join Amy Lyn Edie, a talented portrait artist from Northwest Arkansas, for an immersive six-week drawing course designed for complete beginners. This hands-on class will guide you through the essential techniques of drawing, focusing on three key areas: portrait drawing, perspective drawing, and landscapes.

In the first two weeks, you will explore the fundamentals of capturing the human face. The following two weeks will introduce you to the principles of perspective drawing. In the final two weeks, you will connect with nature as you learn to draw landscapes.

Whether you are picking up a pencil for the first time or looking to refresh your skills, this course offers a supportive environment to foster creativity and growth. Take a journey into the art of drawing, where you will build a strong foundation and create beautiful works of art.
