DRAWING COURSES For Adults
DRAWING: THE BASICS AND BEYOND
"A few months ago I took Linda's intro to drawing class and it was so much fun! I can't draw a straight line even with a ruler and Linda made me feel like a champ! I can't wait to take the class again, and to move onto paper mache. I am also the proud owner of one of Linda's paintings and expect to have more of her incredible original works in my home."

"I recently completed Linda Calvert Jacobson's 10-hour basic drawing course. Linda gives clear instructions, patient guidance, helpful suggestions for improvement, and acknowledgement of good work. During each stage of the drawing course Linda teaches specific skills and fun exercises to develop or enhance those skills. The course helped me to see things more clearly so I can more effectively portray them. I highly recommend Linda’s drawing course.
