Drawing the Figure
Adults, Beginner to Intermediate
Saturday, May 16, 2026
10AM - 3 PM (with 1-hour break for lunch)
Instructor: Ryan Greis
In this workshop, students learn to draw the human figure with a focus on proportion, shape, form, and movement, building a strong foundation in construction, light and shadow, contour, line, and composition. Through guided studio exercises and instructor demonstrations, complex areas of the body are simplified into clear, manageable forms, using age-appropriate photo references throughout. The emphasis is on black-and-white value rather than color, and all materials are provided by Drawn Studio.

Drawing the Head/Face
Adults, Beginner to Intermediate
Saturday, June 13, 2026
10 AM - 3 PM (with 1-hour break for lunch)
Instructor: Ryan Greis
In this portrait workshop, students explore the timeless art of drawing a true likeness of the human face, focusing on the four major features—eyes, nose, mouth, and ears—and learning to see them as three-dimensional forms rather than flat shapes. Through guided exercises from multiple viewpoints, we introduce essential anatomy, proportion, and structure to help students create realism and capture personality, with special attention to shape, form, and value in black and white. All materials are provided, and the workshop is ideal for adults who want to strengthen their skills and experience the rewarding process of bringing faces to life on paper.
