In this 3-week session, we’ll meet downtown at Portland Art Museum’s Rental Sales Gallery. RSG is a vibrant, comfortable, and welcoming space, positively brimming with inspiring artworks created by your neighbors in Oregon and Washington state.

While drawing local artwork, you’ll sharpen your observation skills and explore the surprising versatility of colored pencils. Let yourself be delighted when you see that you actually can draw what you see — and have fun doing it. Plus, the benefits extend way beyond your sketchbook.

Together we’ll co-create a supportive environment for students of all skill levels and art backgrounds.
