Sold Out – Developing Your Drawing Eye
About the Class
It’s never too late to learn to draw – especially when nobody’s grading you. Whether you are an abject beginner, haven’t picked up a pencil since high school, or you’re a creative who has always felt intimidated by observational drawing, this six-week class is offered with you in mind.
We’ll take the mystery – and the pressure – out of drawing from observation. You’ll learn how to really see like an artist, practice simple techniques step by step, and build skills at your own pace. No talent required, and perfection is off the table.
Studying observational drawing offers a foundational skill set that you will carry into every medium you might wish to explore. Discover the joy of drawing and build practical skills to expand your creative expression!
All materials are provided.

Class FAQ
We ask that you notify us at least 10 days in advance of a class if you need to cancel your registration. You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class.
Sometimes, the Sonoma Community Center has to cancel a class due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or health emergency. If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee (minus the payment processing and services fee), or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.
All credits must be used within 1 year.
