Take your art to the next level with my new series, Portrait Fundamentals: Mastering Facial Features! During this workshop, Eye for Detail: Draw Like a Pro, you'll gain invaluable insights into the art of drawing eyes and learn how to create realistic and expressive human portraits. We'll cover everything from eye anatomy to the art of capturing emotions through eye movement. By the end of the workshop, you'll have the skills and confidence to tackle even the most challenging of human portraits.
​
Age
Workshops are open to anyone who wants to draw and learn freehand drawing art from age 10 through adults. If you are a beginner or new to graphite pencil art, start from the Introduction to Graphite Pencil workshop.
Art LeveL
All art styles, skill levels, and art goals are welcome. If you are new to graphite pencil, I highly recommend taking the Introduction to Graphite Pencil workshop before taking other workshops. Each workshop builds skillsets needed for the next workshop.
Flexibility
Pick your workshop from two available session times! All workshops are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. All classes are 2 hours long, and it is $46/class.
Need more time to finish your work? Join the 2-hour open studio class in the following week for more individualized instructions.
Location
All workshops and open studio classes are held at Tanigawa Studio in downtown McKinney TX.
