Bruce Stewart
"I have enjoyed drawing and painting since early childhood. After studying Zoology and Art at UC Davis, I worked as a graphic artist in San Francisco before studying marine science at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories.  My interest in the ocean evolved into a career devoted to increasing public understanding of science and nature".


Jorge Garza
"As a young man, I studied architecture and received a degree from the UIA in Mexico City.  I have lived in San Diego since 1979 and in the last three years, have created over 100 new paintings on different subjects including portraits, abstracts, landscapes, seascapes, etc.  using mainly oils and acrylics with a lavish use of the pallet knife".

Beginning Drawing with Barbara Roth - Because We Like Hue Art Classes - SIGN UP NOW

Beginning drawing with Barbara Roth

Thurs, Jan. 23 & 30, Feb. 6 & 13 from 9:30-12:30
San Marcos area
Classes are 4 sessions of 3 hours per session

This 4 session class is for anyone who wants to learn or improve their ability to draw. Drawing is not "Rocket Science" it is just learning some basic drawing concepts and then practicing them. Over the course of 4 classes you'll be introduced to each concept, see demonstrations of it and given lots of time to practice your drawing in class. Each concept will build on the previous concept to make your drawings look better and better. By the end of the classes you'll be able to sit down and produce a sketch you can keep in a sketchbook, hang on a wall, sell or use for a watercolor painting. You'll also be introduced to a variety of drawing materials and drawing styles and receive lots of supportive advice on your drawing skills so you'll be on your way to developing your own unique drawings.
Classes are 4 sessions of 3 hours per session

Fee is $100.  Contact Kate O'Brien at zelda1970@cox.net to reserve your space and pay for classes.
