DRAW LIKE YOU MEAN IT
With Maggie Parr
A 6-week online drawing workshop that will help you feel more confident in your work, no matter what the medium.
MAY 26 - June 30 from 4-5:15 pm PST on ZOOM
In just six weeks, you'll learn to see the world in a new way--without having to take years of art classes. I'll lead you through a series of weekly workshops with essential lessons, fun exercises, and secret tips distilled from my 30 years working with Disney Imagineering.
By the end of the 6-weeks, you'll have the tools to be able to draw anything you can see or imagine. You'll have incredible new knowledge and skill to apply to your work, no matter the medium or style.
During our time together, I'll customize your learning journey with a combination of 1:1 and group training so you get exactly what you need to be able to draw whatever you want in a style that suits you.
Here's exactly how it's going to work...
After registering for class, you'll schedule a 1:1 with me to go over your goals for the workshop. Based on what you tell me, I'll adjust the program to make sure you get the lessons you need.
Every Tuesday, I'll lead you through an online group seminar on a topic. During class, you and the other students will do an exercise to solidify what you're learning. You'll get an optional homework assignment to further your practice.
You can email me anytime with questions or drawings, and I'll either send you a Loom video or go over your work in class.
We'll schedule one more 1:1 before class ends to help you decide what to do next with your work.

Here's what students are saying after working with me...
"Maggie is a generous teacher, sharing her talent, tips and offering patient guidance. She not only brought me back to the basics I had forgotten, but she also taught me new methods and techniques I never knew existed! Working with Maggie has helped me to improve measuredly, and the results have elevated my confidence. Maggie has helped me believe I can be the artist I've always aspired to be."

"Maggie is a museum-quality artist and also patient, generous, and helpful to artists of all levels. She guided us methodically through each step of painting a good portrait. You will learn how to use darks and lights to shape the facial features and produce a good likeness. She provides a consistency pleasant atmosphere to relax and paint."

"I loved the entire process from beginning to end. You really don't need much experience to try oil painting, just trust the process. You can learn a lot in just two days. Maggie is very knowledgeable and makes class very enjoyable."

"I love nothing more than to see the light go on in someone's eyes after they learn how miraculous it is to SEE like an artist! And it's easier than everyone thinks. I believe that being a good artist is about 20% talent, and the rest is technique and practice." --Maggie
