“I hadn’t drawn much since high school and I’m in my sixties now. Michael Herron reminded me of what I knew, taught me new techniques & helped me to draw without being afraid. Now I love charcoal and pastels and I’m experimenting with ink. This is FUN! I’m on my second round of his nine-week course and I highly recommend Michael’s classes.”
