Draw a Dragon
Dear extraordinary artists of the future, even if you think you are not,
I am holding drawing classes, especially for the absolute beginner.
'HOW TO DRAW A DRAGON' has been a huge hit, with some people wanting to return to draw another dragon.
Student's dragon's are all so utterly gorgeous: some are powerful, some are cute, some are having fun and some make me want to take them home as pets. No dragon is better or worse than another. They are all wonderfully reflective of their creators. So, if you would like 2 hours of drawing fun, I hope Thames is not too far for you to travel, on Saturday morning, 12th April, 9.30 am.
Enrol soon as there are only 8 places left.
