Sometimes it's just not possible to attend a workshop

Dru has designed his classroom in a box home study courses just for you. Dru is 100% committed to making his lessons the best and most informative they can be. Each Classroom in a Box walks you through project step-by-step just like being at a Dru Blair workshop.

Classroom in a Box home study courses are recorded in real-time using HD video and narrated by Dru Blair himself as he walks you through your project and explains not only every mark he makes, but more importantly, why he makes those marks, as well as why he chooses to use one technique over another. Classroom in a Box home study courses: the next best thing to being there!

Painting Biomechanics - Giger style!

Famous for his depictions of Aliens from the movie franchise, HR Giger's style is unmistakable. Dark, sinister, and haunting biomechanical figures seem to hover between reality and imagination..

Besides creating an intentional color shift in his work, Giger used a number of unconventional approaches in his work, and we will explore them all in this class.

Now is an opportunity to paint in the style of Giger, using his approach and techniques. All you need is an airbrush set up, paint, and this biomechanical course. Join a workshop or purchase Classroom in a Box home study course to prove to yourself that you are ready to take your art to the next level!
