Great class.
Excellent video demonstrations, really useful exercises, lots of encouragement, and helpful critiques of our work.
Sharon was really responsive to suggestions and adapted to the needs of our class.
Super fun. Planning to take her next class
Although I have drawn, off and on, for my whole life, Sharon had much to teach me: several new techniques, updated materials, and a fresh, expanded approach to drawing.
She provided patient, insightful commentary and encouragement to each student, wherever we were in our learning journey.
When I signed up for this class, I expected to learn much needed drawing techniques, which I did.
What I did not expect was how the class would help me develop a regular habit of drawing.
The personalized critique during each zoom class and getting to observe my classmates' efforts was beneficial as well. I was able to take what I've learned here and move beyond the beginner stage.
It's been a real pleasure. Thank you!
When you're trying to figure it out yourself it’s overwhelming.

Gesture Drawing
Visual training that teaches you to see the “whole” before the “parts.” We use 50% of our brain to process images and this is mostly done subconsciously.
This taps into that hidden potential!
Sighting and Measuring
Here you analyze and compare your drawing elements to the source. This approach allows you to get accurate shapes, proportion, placement and scale while maintaining the vigor of the gesture.
Hatching to Create Form
“Hatching” engages the tactile experience in what you see. You learn to interpret the surface of forms from 3 dimensions into 2 and develop a more convincing readability in your drawings.
Planar Analysis for Structure
With this method you learn to analyze the form into planes or facets. This improves your understanding of what you see and also simplifies into a clearly readable drawing.
