subject is possible. Color may be added, offering a whole new dimension. Classes will focus on different tools
and the techniques used to simulate different textures, fixing mistakes, adding color, and preserving finished
work. Practice boards will be provided, and we will work to complete one 8"x10" drawing over the six weeks
