All levels of experience are welcome in this popular KACC workshop! Students go from "I can't draw" to "I can draw everything--Including portraits!" This workshop is a highly structured series of 5 classes using specific exercises to develop the right brain hemisphere. This method enables the student to see and draw accurately.
