ESMERALDA ACOSTA heads up our figure drawing classes. She is an avid student herself who has studied with some of the best figure drawing artists on the west coast. She says it best in her own words: "Drawing is a passion for me. A craft I will hone til the end of my days." Esmeralda's one-two-three approach makes it easy for anyone at any level to join her class.
And her demos ROCK. She speaks volumes with each lesson as she shows you line by line how to achieve results. |
