RSS is pleased to announce that Daniel Hauben will now be teaching classes for RSS.

This course will embrace all the components of free-hand drawing: Composition - Perspective - Shading - Use and interplay of line and tone - Dynamic use of lights, darks, and colors.

Through demonstrations and individual instruction, students will develop a drawing technique that will enable them to respond spontaneously and accurately to subjects such as: still life, the figure, portraits, landscapes, and cityscapes, as well as their imagination.
