Drawn2Art bequeaths quivering brushes and eager pastels unto children and adults seeking enthusiastic instruction in realistic drawing and painting. Apprentice artists share anti-stick-figure literature before working in a variety of media, including watercolor, oil paints, pastels, and charcoal. Passionate instructors encourage students, catering to their individual abilities and interests and allowing them to progress at their own pace. Budding Picassos learn the mechanics of their chosen media, as well as the basic principles of form and shape for a jump-start toward realistic art and stellar geometry grades. Some students may finish a piece of art during the class time, and others may only have created a painting of a marshmallow in a blizzard. Schedules vary, but classes are held most often in the afternoon and early evening Monday though Friday and throughout the day on Saturdays and Sundays.
