Drawing Studies Workshop


A student and instructor looking at a drawing

Join us for an immersive three-day workshop where you will continue to explore and refine your drawing practice.

Set within the inspiring natural beauty of Interlochen’s idyllic campus, this workshop offers a focused environment to deepen your understanding of form, line, composition, and observation.

This workshop includes hands-on instruction and one-on-one feedback tailored to each participant’s goals. Whether you're building foundational skills or pushing your creative boundaries, you'll leave with new techniques, fresh perspectives, and a stronger visual vocabulary.

This workshop is perfect for anyone seeking to strengthen their drawing foundation. The goal is to provide you with not only hands-on experience but also transferable skills that you can apply to various artistic pursuits, from painting to sculpture and beyond.
