    "What I have not drawn, I have never really seen." - Frederick Franck


    Constructive Drawing is an approach that helps an artist to develop their "drawing brain" by cultivating an intuitive understanding of 3-dimensional form. Students will learn the basics of perspective, seeing in three dimensions, and simplifying complex forms. Beginners may follow along with skill-building exercises, while advanced students may work with the instructor to build toward their personal goals.  Materials list below.
