ROCKLAND — The Sail, Power and Steam has announced a series of drawing classes with noted naval architect, Chuck Paine.

Paine has spent much of his life (so far) designing yachts with lines. Recently, he discovered the magic of drawing with values to create artful representations, and is excited to share what he has learned with fellow art students. Join Chuck at the Sail, Power and Steam Museum, a site rich with nautical artifacts and architectural and scenic motifs.

The museum is offering instruction through three 2-1/2 hour sessions of drawing indoors and out. A group of 6 to 10 will draw boat stuff, or whatever else they choose from among the diverse subject possibilities.

Each session will include demonstrations, drawing, and group critiques. In September there will be three consecutive Monday afternoons, 4 p.m. - 6: 30 p.m., on Sept. 8, 15, and 22.

$95 for all three, but single classes are also available. If there is interest classes may be scheduled at later dates.
