These lessons are designed for teenage and adult students who want to:

• Develop visual perception and drawing skills, focusing on a realistic approach and structural drawing;
• Advance their artistic skills and move on to higher levels, including watercolor and oil painting, mixed media, and figure drawing;
• Learn about various painting and illustration techniques by studying the works of both old-school and contemporary artists.
• Develop an art portfolio.

Drawing is a skill everyone can learn and master. However, the learning process requires patience, practice, and sometimes the willingness to be not a creator but an analyst and an engineer. Drawing is not just about the product; it’s a complex process of transforming reality and seeing the world around us so that it can be represented on a flat sheet of paper with such a humble tool as a charcoal or graphite pencil.

The curriculum of the lessons combines a realistic approach and an opportunity for creative expression. Students are exposed to various drawing techniques and mediums, using professional materials and working from observation, memory, and imagination.
