In these ongoing classes, students learn the fundamentals of how to draw with charcoal and pencil using the classical techniques practiced by the European artists of the 18th and 19th centuries. Students are guided through a series of exercises that help train the eye to see and then draw accurately.

Students begin by copying simple master drawings made by Charles Bargue with graphite.​ Continuing students tackle more challenging drawings and use charcoal.

Basic drawing supplies are provided as part of the class fee.
