This is a fun opportunity to practice drawing what you see while also enjoying being a part of a group of artists. You might even find a new fun art passion that doesn't also drain your wallet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe will meet downtown where teaching artist Anne Pfeiffer will demo and discuss how to simplify the chaos, use value tones, see angles, types of lines, as well as other tips and tricks for success.
