Step into a calm, creative studio environment and explore the fundamentals of drawing through thoughtfully styled still life arrangements. This Guided Open Studio is ideal for anyone who values the freedom to work at their own pace while still benefiting from professional support.
Each session begins with a short demonstration, where your artist guide introduces key drawing techniques and approaches. You will then work independently from a curated still life setup, which may include botanical elements, drapery, glass objects, or seasonal arrangements.
