What we’re about
Glad you found us! Portland Art Guild is a supportive, inclusive group of art enthusiasts of all art skill levels. We're about creating community, improving our art skills, and providing low cost art classes to the public so learning about art is accessible to all. We host social/art events and aim to provide display opportunities.
We rent a wonderful, large space for Mondays, so that's usually when we hold in-person classes, although occasionally this may vary. Our online classes are generally on Thursday evenings, although this may vary. We always have many more people in our classes than it shows on Meetup, by the way.
We're a nonprofit run by volunteers, and you can join us and be part of our volunteer team. Information about joining the Guild is on our website. You can still take our classes without becoming a PAG member. Official sign-up for our classes is on our website: **https://portlandartguild.org/**

-Substantial discount on our art classes.
-Opportunities to exhibit/market your work and enter our in-house competitions.

STILL LIFE DRAWING FUNDAMENTALS
Portland Art Guild, 3201 NE 148th Ave, Portland, OR, USPLEASE NOTE: Official signup is through our website: Portland Art Guild
2-session series: $60 for PAG Members and $120/nonmembers.
Sessions from 10:00am to 2:00pm on January 5th, 12, and 19th
Drawing is the foundational skill for nearly all visual arts. Drawing necessitates you slow down and truly see the world around you, noticing details and the subtle interplay of light and shadow. Come improve your drawing skills in this focused, 3-session class where you’ll learn
core techniques needed to create compelling drawings of stationary objects. Students will learn how to see and measure objects accurately to achieve correct proportions and how to use negative space for correcting errors and defining object edges. We will dive into shading to give your drawings the illusion of 3-dimensions, focusing on highlights, mid-tones, core shadows, reflected light, and cast shadows. Students will learn about blending and layering techniques using graphite to create smooth tonal transitions and convey texture.
