Drawing Fundamentals

Saturday, July 25, 2026

9 AM - 1 PM

Instructor: Ryan Greis

Whether your teen is picking up a pencil for the first time or looking to sharpen existing skills, this course gives them everything they need to draw with confidence. They'll master the building blocks of great drawing, from blocking and proportion measurement to shading, highlights, and shadow work, then bring it all together through guided rendering techniques that add depth, detail, and a professional finish to their artwork. By the end, they won't just know how to draw; they'll know why every mark they make works.

Drawing the Head & Face

Ages 12-17, Beginner to Intermediate

Saturday, August 1, 2026

10 AM - 2:30 PM

Instructor: Ryan Greis

Faces are endlessly expressive, and learning to draw them is one of the most rewarding skills an artist can develop. In this hands-on portraiture workshop, teens discover how to capture a true likeness by studying the four major facial features (eyes, nose, mouth, and ears) not as flat shapes, but as three-dimensional forms shaped by light and shadow. Through guided exercises and multi-angle drawings, students develop a deeper understanding of facial anatomy, proportion, and structure, learning to see the way artists see. Working in black and white with charcoal and conté, they'll build confidence in rendering value, form, and personality on paper. All materials are provided, so just bring your curiosity and leave with the skills to bring faces to life.

Drawing Hands & Feet

Ages 12-17, All Levels

Saturday, August 8, 2026

9 AM - 12 PM

Instructor: Ryan Greis

Hands and feet are among the most challenging subjects any artist faces, but they don't have to stay that way. This workshop breaks down the anatomy of both into simple, manageable forms, demystifying what can feel overwhelmingly complex. Through careful deconstruction and guided practice, students learn to look at hands and feet as collections of shapes that fit together logically, making them far easier to observe, understand, and draw with confidence.
