Developing Your Drawing Style
Instructor: Janet Wadler
Date: Tuesdays, September 8 - October 27, 2026
Time: 9:30am – 12pm
Drawing is a wonderful way to express yourself, and expanding your drawing skills is one of the best ways to develop your unique artistic style. In this class, we’ll explore a variety of drawing techniques while examining the signature styles of many well-known artists for inspiration. We will draw still lifes, landscapes and other subjects that interest each artist, and we will use reference photos to sharpen your observational skills while encouraging your personal artistic interpretation.
Join us for a fun drawing journey designed to build confidence in your artistic decisions, expand your technical skills, and help you uncover your own creative voice. All skill levels are welcome!
