Class: Drawing Techniques with Allison Maletz

‘Liked that we worked mostly on one still life drawing. I was able to take my time and not worry about the next project. I couldn’t attend two of the classes so the one still life made it easy for me to catch up. Drawing is like a meditation for me. I like having to really see an object, focus on drawing exactly what I see. Thanks, Allison. Charlotte

Class: Drawing Techniques with Allison Maletz

This class was great! I can’t believe how much I learned about pencil drawing in a short time - I have a completely different experience when I draw than I did when I started. Allison gives feedback in a way that is always positive and encouraging and also specific and on point about how to improve. I hope to take this class again in the future

I'll definitely take more classes with Allison.
