CB Sketchbook Club: Tessa Davidson
In this session, we invite you to bring fresh insight and personal expression to a longstanding artistic tradition! This week’s instructor, artist Tessa Davidson, will explore figure drawings that uniquely embody aspects of one’s story and identity. Following the masters of the Medieval and Renaissance periods, participants will examine various sides of themselves and determine an object and pose that symbolically captures their journey.
