Senior Sketches is an 8-week small-group drawing workshop designed for adults 55 and older who want to explore the basics of drawing in a supportive, beginner-friendly environment. Participants learn fundamental skills for drawing from observation while building confidence through hands-on practice. Each session encourages artistic discussion, collaboration, and shared reflection to deepen understanding and enjoyment. Taught by artist and educator, Joshua Newth, the workshop fosters a warm creative community where connection is just as important as sketching.
