In this 7-week class Beginning / Intermediate drawing class, Chris Pothier will review basic concepts and skills of drawing from life. Building on this foundation, students will refine their skills in drawing and composition in order to complete a fully finished piece with attention to foreground, middle ground and background. Sketches throughout the class will help define the finished work. This class will be using graphite, high quality drawing paper and tone paper. (Tone paper to be supplied by the instructor.)

He has exhibited nationally and internationally and has been an instructor in drawing and painting at the New Hampshire Institute of Art, University of Massachusetts, St. Paul’s School, and more recently, The Dalles Art Center.
