Have you ever wanted to learn how to draw? Classically trained art educator Margaret Kingston offers a basic course in the art of seeing and drawing. Classes are on 3 consecutive Saturdays starting October 27th from 1:30-4pm at Confluence Gallery, 104 Glover Street in Twisp.

Margaret is a firm believer in devoting practice time to newly formed creative skills, just like playing sports or an instrument. But don’t fret; it’s a win win situation. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and the newfound skills will turn out to be useful and fun. She begins by teaching how to draw geometric solids, define form, light and shadow and progress to colorful still lives. Learn to get realistic details using simple pencil shading and techniques to create a sense of depth in a scene. By the end of the workshop participants will have sketches and a finished still life drawing to take home.

Margaret Kinston is a K-12 certified and experienced art educator newly arrived from New Hampshire. Most recently she taught at the “Art from Around the World” during the summer art camps. She is excited about the valley’s art scene and the chance to teach visual arts to all ages of Methow Valley Students.
