Class Description

Unlock the secrets of perspective drawing and take your artwork to the next level! In this two-part learning opportunity, students can begin with the fundamentals or return to deepen and strengthen their skills.

Beginner Session – April 13 & 20
This introductory class focuses on understanding vanishing points and mastering one-point and two-point perspective to create depth, dimension, and realism in drawings and paintings. Weather permitting, Paul will take the class outdoors for hands-on exploration of perspective in real-world settings. This course is designed for artists of all levels who want to transform flat compositions into dynamic, lifelike scenes.

Next Level Session – July 13 & 20
Designed for students who have completed the beginner class or have prior experience with perspective, this session emphasizes practice and reinforcement. Students will spend the majority of the class drawing in one-point and two-point perspective to solidify their understanding, build confidence, and improve accuracy. Ideal for artists looking to strengthen their skills through focused repetition and instructor feedback.
