“Nate is a remarkable artist and shares his gift in a language kids can understand.
He is patient and kind but also challenges his students to be accountable and try to work outside of their comfort zone.
I feel like my daughter has gained more confidence and awesome new skills from his lessons.”

At Drawcademy we are very committed to our students & we are looking for students who can match our energy & excitement for art.
Our program is month to month & you may quit at any time, so if it doesn’t work for you, just let us know - no hard feelings over here!
We’ve found that a single class doesn’t give the full picture. Students understand & enjoy the program much more after they’ve tried out a few lessons.

Learn through the hand.
▸ Here’s what to expect your first day.
Learn a new thing.
▸ Based on the topic of the week.
Practice the thing.
▸ For immediate understanding.
Reflect & discuss.
▸ At the end of class ask questions, and share your work with peers.
Mini challenges that up-skill you faster.
▸ Here’s why we use the “quick sketch” method in all our classes.
Quick sketch recognizes quantity leads to quality.
▸ You can’t beat math; more reps = more learning. You’ll have more opportunities to be exposed to more types of problem solving, and the interleaving of weekly concepts gives you a 35 thousand foot view of the art of drawing.
Quick sketch helps you focus on what’s most important.
▸ If you only have 3 minutes to do a drawing, you must choose the highest leverage moves; great artists have a tight and efficient process.
Quick sketch normalizes imperfection.
▸ Made a “bad” drawing? No problem, lets move onto the next one. Repetition is the key to reducing perfectionism. We take the focus off of grandiose masterpieces, and we put the focus on enjoying the journey of learning & creation itself.
