Instructor Ruth Cox

This is a very simple and painterly way of seeing and drawing, which focuses on big shape and value relationships instead of detail. Taught by Ruth Cox of Myrtle Beahc, S.C., the class will last four weeks, and may lead to an advanced class if there is interest in continuing. Visit Ruth's website to see her work.
