Learn to Draw like the masters!

Download the "5 Essential Lessons from the Charles Bargue Drawing Course" to Learn to Draw Just Like the Old Masters did.

We all start in the same place.

Exhilarating and Frustrating

When I was about 8 years old, I realized that my drawings did not look as good as I wanted them to. The exhilaration of drawing turned into frustration. Do you remember that point in your life? This is when most people stop drawing. Some work through the frustration back to exhilaration only to find there is more frustration on the other side.

The problem is, art education has lost the foundation that great art is build on. It is left up to each of us to find the drawing foundation on our own. But what if the missing foundation can be rediscovered?

That’s what the Charles Bargue Drawing Course is, the foundation that is missing from your drawing experience. Now’s the time to rebuild your foundation, rediscover the exhilaration of drawing, and set your imagination free!

The drawing course that has proven itself for over a century!

Who is Joshua Granberg?

Joshua Granberg

I’m probably a lot like you.  I love to draw!

Throughout my life I have tried to learn as much as I can about art.  I have a BA in Art, a BFA in Painting and I studied Drawing and Painting at the Florence Academy of Art in Florence, Italy and Mölndal, Sweden for 4 years.

Learning about and creating art is my life’s passion and I want to help you along that path.

Drawing is a skill that can be learned.  If you can write, then you can learn to draw.  The Charles Bargue Drawing Course is the first step on that journey of becoming a master draftperson. So, let’s travel along that journey together!
