Hello,
I stumbled upon your blog while searching for a Drawing workshop in Kuwait. As I didn't find a way to contact you directly, I'm posting here.
Could you please enlighten me if there are places that teach courses in drawing to the general public? I have found that kidzartkuwait.com has a program for adults but I have not contacted them as of yet.
Unfortunately I live in Qatar nowadays, so I'm not very up to date regarding what's happening in Kuwait... Is there a 'Time Out' published in Kuwait..? Alternatively you might wish to contact some of the various cultural institutions or galleries or ask them... Bazaar magazine might also be a potential source...
Also you might just get the materials and check out some lessons on youtube or order some instructional videos through Amazon..?!
I have tried learning materials for years but I'm seeking the hands-on environment + the motivation of being in a group. Bayt Lothan (http://www.baytlothan.org/) it seems is the best choice.
Thank you for your reply and I hope you have a wonderful time wherever you may be. :)
