Since 1994 I have been teaching people how to draw. Each class has 3-5 people who meet together for one hour per week. There are 5 of these classes in Exeter at the Courthouse Gallery on Tuesdays. (but not in July, August or December)
Each person works at his own pace on his own drawing. Some have been with me for a month now, some for about 10 years. The only ones who don’t learn are the ones who quit too soon.
Everyone comes for a different reason. Here are some:
- To learn how to get their shapes and proportions more accurate so they can paint better.
- A desire to prove some art “teacher” wrong, who told them they have no talent. (Isn’t that mean!? Wasn’t the “teacher” there to help?? )
- A love of learning how to do new things.
- A desire for a new hobby.
- Always thinking it might suit them, and finally making the time to investigate that interest.
- Already knowing how to draw but needing a specific time and place.
Have a look at what some of my students have either just completed or are currently working on:
There are specifics about drawing lessons here. (Click on the word “here”).
My classes are full right now but you can get on a waiting list. Sometimes people do quit. I don’t think I drive them away. . . life changes, or they got what they came for and move on.
