    The poses were varied. The instructor made some suggestions like shading and not just using line to draw the figures. The longer poses were much easier to do because you had more time. I think it would have helped if the class could see the instructor’s sketches.

    As an artist/mom/therapist I almost never have time to create just for me. The ease of signing up, the flexibility of being present as much as I could be, it was perfect. I love that the teacher interjected but also remained more quiet during key drawing periods. I highly recommend for any artist, beginner to advanced.
