Thank you to everyone who joined us for Pencil & Prompts: Drawing Basics with instructor Matthew Burgy!
It was wonderful to see participants of all experience levels exploring the fundamentals of drawing in a relaxed and supportive environment. Through a series of creative prompts, everyone had the opportunity to strengthen their observational skills, experiment with new techniques, and build confidence with graphite.
A special thank you to Matthew for leading another engaging and encouraging class. We loved seeing everyone's unique approach and are excited to continue creating together.
Stay tuned for more upcoming workshops and classes at the Dayton Society of Artists!
