Online Drawing Workshop


The Origin of the Workshop

The events that began in March 2020 forced us to close our doors unexpectedly.

Quickly, we had to “open a window” and create alternatives. Thus, online classes emerged. There are many challenges in distance learning, but together we managed to overcome them, creating not just learning methods but moments of creativity and sharing.


A Personalized Online Workshop

The online format consists of sessions via videoconference and personalized support..

Both workshops are conducted over 6 sessions, during which we will present drawing as a fundamental tool to develop observation skills and enhance creative potential.

This workshop is ideal for those eager to learn to draw, or for those looking to consolidate their knowledge and practice observational drawing.

And as our current students know (and new ones will find out), classes are guaranteed to be held in a relaxed environment, yet with a demanding program!
