Black Drop Studio


Private art classes in Benicia, California. I offer beginning and intermediate art classes for children, teens, and adults.
​I currently teach the following drawing classes. My approach to teaching is heuristic: learning through discovery, or problem-solving through process. Send me an email if you are interested.

​Learning to See


Learn the fundamentals of observational drawing to bolster your confidence so that you won't be so afraid to pick up a pencil when you have the urge. Explore drawing using different media.

The Art of Visual Storytelling


Draw comics and make artwork with the purpose of creating a graphic novel. Develop your own character for a short comic or longer graphic narrative.​

Traditional Figure Drawing


Learn to hone your observational skills as well as your ability to execute a confident figure drawing. There is no substitute for working from a live model.​ I also run a Figure Drawing Session through Arts Benicia. You can also find our private group on Facebook..
