Thursday, July 1, 8 & 15, 6pm-7:30pm

Tired of feeling intimidated by drawing groups? Do you want to draw but think you can’t or feel scared to show others your work? This group is purely for the joy and freedom of creating…no expectations…no critique…no right or wrong way. Try charcoal, pencil, pens, paints or any other medium you choose to explore the 2-Dimensional world. Various exercises will be facilitated to help you loosen up and draw!
