Drawing Portraits & People for Beginners

Love to draw, but avoid drawing people?

Join instructor Megan Bray at ARTiculations Art Supply for a four-week portrait and people drawing course for beginners, to build your drawing skills and expand on what you’ve learned. Some materials will be provided and students will need to bring some of their own materials – see the course page for details.

Drawing portraits can feel daunting at first, but there’s a certain joy in discovering a person through drawing them! This course will cover a range of topics as students learn to draw people and build on basic drawing skills in a supportive environment.

A good follow-up to Absolute Beginner Drawing and Beginner Drawing.

“We believe in the power of creativity and the joy of making art.”
