Charcoal Drawing Classes Meet in Art Studio in SF

Thank you for visiting our group - Charcoal Drawing Class! We meet on Saturdays, 5:00-7:00pm, in my art studio located in San Francisco. All are welcome, whether you are a total beginner who want to explore, learn, or just have fun... or a more experienced artist who might want to freshen your techniques, pick up where you left off a while ago, or just enjoy the experience of drawing in a group setting and share the joy of creating art. My art studio is a place for kids M-F after school and we have day camps during school holidays. We have been in business since 2019. I have decided to include adult art classes on Saturdays and Sundays, and now we have oil painting classes 2-4:30pm, and drawing classes 5-7pm. On Sundays are have soft pastels drawing classes. We will draw still life. If there's a request for a live model, please let me know! It's a wonderful place for everyone to get together safely to have fun, learn, and bring home a beautiful piece of artwork that you have created! All art supplies are provided unless you wish to bring your own. Please go to my website https://www.sweetartssanfrancisco.com/art-for-adults, to pay/sign up. Please note that you are not signed up for the class if you only RSVP here on Meetup. Also, many participants sign up directly on our website for the event; therefore, if you see an event with no RSVP here on Meetup, it does not mean no one is attending the event. If you have any questions, please email me at sweetartssf@gmail.com for a quick response. Hope to see you soon!

October's Full Moon over San Francisco's Painted Ladies & City Hall

In-Person Oil Painting Class

The art teacher will guide you through the 2.5-hour art class step by step. All art supplies will be provided. You can be a newbie who has always wanted to give oil painting a try, or be an artist who simply wants to enjoy the experience. All are welcomed. Everyone will paint the same artwork at each event, while every event is a different artwork. If you have a background in oil painting, you have the option of working on something of personal interest with less step by step guidance. The fee is $90/person for each 2.5 hour event. Please pay/sign up on our website https://www.sweetartssanfrancisco.com/art-for-adults for each event by FRIDAY. If you only RSVP here on Meetup, you are not signed up for the class. Please note that many people sign up on our website directly but they do not necessarily RSVP here on Meetup. We hope to see you soon! \*\*(We have a drawing class on Saturdays 5:00-7:00pm!) Or by special arrangement for a group/party or 1:1. Please email to inquire: sweetartssf@gmail.com
