Spend an afternoon exploring drawing in this Discover Drawing workshop, with award winning artist and veteran teacher, Michelle Zuccolo. This drawing workshop offers participants the opportunity to explore drawing in a supporting studio environment with a highly experienced teacher.

You will be working from observation of Still life using observational drawing techniques. Observational drawing serves as a foundational skill for artists, benefiting various drawing forms like figure drawing, still life, landscape, and portraiture. It enhances your observation skills, refines technical abilities, and deepens your understanding of form, light, and shadow. It’s a skill that improves with practice and patience, allowing you to create accurate and realistic representations.

This drawing workshop fosters sustained attention, critical observation, and an expanded understanding of how the structure of objects can be represented within diverse visual contexts. Drawing has cognitive, motor skill and health benefits.

We welcome complete beginners and more experienced artists. We maintain small class sizes to ensure Michelle can offer one-on-one tuition for each student.

Materials are provided.
