Enjoy making art all the while trying to guess what exactly you are drawing. That’s right: we are not telling you! The subject will remain a mystery until somebody guesses what it is correctly. It can be you!
Here is how it works:
-
Guess the subject of your drawing
-
Complete each image (we will be doing a different one each zoom class)
-
Collect all of your completed pictures
-
Put them together in a unique story to share with the friends
-
Send us a picture of your final composition
-
Sometime in June 2021 (date TBD) attend our virtual exhibit opening with a suitable cocktail in hand.
