Build Your Drawing Skills from the Ground Up

In this 12-week Monday evening class, you’ll learn a clear, methodical approach to drawing using the Sight-Size Method, made famous by the Charles Bargue Drawing Course. Working “from the flat,” you’ll learn how to build a drawing step by step, from measuring and placing your initial shapes to developing accurate proportions, structure, and form.

No previous drawing experience is necessary! This class is designed to give beginners a strong foundation while also offering experienced artists a more reliable, repeatable approach to accuracy and visual problem-solving.

It’s a great option if you work full-time, have a busy schedule, or simply want to explore a new way of drawing. You’ll work on the same type of foundational project that students begin with in our main program, with extra time and guidance to develop your skills and confidence.

At the end of the term, you can continue into the next session to keep building on your projects or transition seamlessly into our main program.

Already enrolled in the main program? You can also take this class as an additional Bargue/cast drawing class to get more practice and focused instruction.

Sinkovski, Lyasya
Lyasya Sinkovski

Lyasya Sinkovski is a Boston-based artist and art instructor. She was born and raised in Moscow, Russia. Despite having drawn most of her life, Lyasya received a degree in Linguistics, summa cum laude, and made a successful career in marketing before switching to art. Lyasya was inspired by and studied Russian academic drawing techniques, but had no formal training. She has always strongly believed that drawing is a foundation of any skill-based art. In 2019 Lyasya received a scholarship at Academy of Realist Art, Boston. Since then, she completed the drawing part of the program and is now studying painting.

Loyal to her first love, drawing, Lyasya teaches Bargue/cast at ARA Boston, while giving private and small group art classes at her home studio in Roslindale and working on her personal projects, mostly portraits. Lyasya’s drawings has won several awards and have been exhibited in Boston City Hall.
