Drawing Lessons Are Fun

Drawing lessons are one of the best parts of my art business. See? Happy people having fun!

Once a week, I spend an afternoon helping people draw at the Courthouse Gallery in Exeter. Some folks just need a regular place and time to draw, some need help with difficult projects, and some need instruction every step of the way. It is a pleasure and privilege to help every one of my students in whatever way they need.

This happens 4 people at a time, 1 hour per week. Each person works on his or her own piece, at his or her own pace. They pay by the month, a month in advance. Sixth grade is the minimum age. You don’t have to have “talent” or experience, just the desire to learn to draw.

My classes are full, but there are four alternatives.

  1. Private lessons at my studio in Three Rivers, scheduled when and however it suits both of us.
  2. A beginning drawing workshop at Arts Visalia, scheduled for Saturday, August 26th, 9-3.
  3. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THE WORKSHOP OR HAD LESSONS WITH ME, continuing lessons in a group format at Arts Visalia, the 3rd Tuesday of the month, beginning in September.
  4. Get on my waiting list for the Tuesday afternoon lessons in Exeter.

Drawing lessons are fun for everyone who participates. The only ones who don’t learn how to draw are those who quit too soon.

Claire drew the barn and we were quite pleased with the results. Her Mom requested leaves on the oak trees. It was very hard, but we figured out a way. The drawing looks faded because I photographed it under a cellophane sleeve while my camera battery was dying, Claire’s dad was waiting for her, and I was in a big hurry. My fault, not Claire’s!

  1. I am one of those people who can’t draw stick figures and my husband encouraged me to take Jana’ s classes. She is an amazing instructor. She is patient, kind but mainly she teaches me how to really ‘see’ what you are looking at. I have actually copied some very intricate drawings, larger than the original, successfully. It sounds easy to copy something, but for me it truly isn’t. What is also cool is there are people of all skill levels in the ‘class’. I just love this time every week and Jana gives me the courage and patient instruction I need. Thank you so much Jana.

    • Dawn, you are very kind! Thank you for the endorsement. And you are a good student – very focused.

  2. Hi Jana,

    • Hi Pauline – I have you on my waiting list but didn’t have any contact info for you. I will email you privately away from the prying eyes of the World Wide Web. 😎
