Charcoal Drawing Classes Meet in Art Studio in SF

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!
