Sarah was such a great teacher! I took intro to drawing and we learned a bunch of different techniques like drawing what we feel, noticing value and shapes, and some gesture and figure drawing. I’ve never drawn with charcoal and now it’s probably my favorite medium! I also feel like I’ve progressed as an artist and am looking forward to the next class series!

I love The Drawing Studio. I live in Bend so I can only do a series once, sometimes twice per year, weather and travel dependent. I miss it when I am not there.

I took the first drawing class. It was amazing. I'm looking forward to more and seeing how things unfold. His teaching is wonderful.

Ask someone to draw an eye and, most likely, they will do just that - a circle to represent the eye ball, another circle to represent band of color, pupil and so on. The result being a pictogram of sorts...internationally recognized and labeled as an eye. Phil allows students to bypass this response by observing the subject, in this case the eye, in a way that is not devoid of the drawers current emotional state or intent. The result will be an eye as seen by the drawer, not an eye as represented by the collective whole of every human on the planet. And that is what makes these classes, in my opinion, beautiful and theraputic.
