What Are People Saying About the Classes

” I learned more in two weeks than I learned all semester in my college drawing classes!”
D. Southwick

I wanted to leave my “business side” and explore my “creative side,” or just find out if I had one. Idaho Art Classes has given me the courage to do so, with patience and humor. The classes offer knowledge, skill, and experience, encouraging beginners while supporting those with greater skills. J. Adam

“I found that improving my drawing skills helps greatly in my paintings. The ability to capture proportions, render shading correctly, and show perspective properly are all great assets in painting. I highly recommend anyone embarking on or already involved in painting to take these drawing classes.” M. Marriott

How are these Classes Different?

It’s Not About How “Talented” You Are!!

Anyone can learn to draw and paint! The methods and approaches developed in the Italian Renaissance were refined to teach anyone to master the ability to draw and paint. We study value, rendering, techniques, perspective, and composition along with the fundamentals of creating depth. These concepts will take your artwork to the next level.
