Join Dina Wakley for a “LIVE” class, hosted in a private Facebook group!
** Notice: The LIVE portion has already taken place. The class video and group participation are available **
Saturday February 6th, 9 am Pacific/Noon Eastern (17:00 GMT)
I am not someone who has an innate drawing gift. All of my drawing comes out of technique and practice. This class is a great start to your drawing life. We'll thoroughly go over proportion and features. I'll also show you how to mix skin tone colors and paint faces with acrylic. You don't need talent, just a desire to learn!
If you already have drawing experience, you will find this class to be elementary. This class is suited for those with little to no prior drawing experience.
