6 Week Beginner Drawing Class- Join Danielle Hood, to unlock your creativity with this beginner-friendly drawing course. This is designed for adults who want to explore the basics of drawing in a supportive and relaxed environment.

Each 2-hour weekly class will feature an introduction to concepts covered and hands-on exercises that build on the concepts. Students will leave each class with a suggested “homework” assignment that will help them build confidence in their new skills.
