Observation is a foundational skill required of the visual artist and Abraxas teaches how to sharpen that ability through sketching. Learning to discern the subtle variations of tone, texture, and shapes in a scene, and transfer that data to a two dimensional surface, is essential to the creation of representational art. Whether sketching the outline of a painting, or executing a detailed graphite sketch, the artist should be familiar with a pencil Basic concepts are covered in class as well as advanced techniques... Take your work as far as you want to go, with confidence.

Abraxas' proven method enables even those who "can't draw a stick figure" to accurately draw any subject they desire. Experience the pride of signing a work of art you never thought you could create!

Student testimonials...

"Abraxas’ dedication to and mastery of his art clearly comes through in his courses. The small class size allows him to guide each student through the use of light and shading, tonal values, and perspective. The classes are most enjoyable. They inspire the student to continue pursuing their own artistic goals and enable the student to gain a deeper appreciation and understanding of other works of art." Jim Mulcahy

"My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the sketching class in your studio. We were both frankly amazed at both how much we learned in just two morning classes and the art we produced with our own hands. We may now have a new lifelong hobby!" Thanks again, Glenn
