The aim of this course is to develop confidence in your ability to draw using a range of tools and materials.

The emphasis will be on learning to see, using basic drawing approaches and materials to describe a range of subjects.

Selected expressive and observational drawing exercises will be used to encourage a brave yet sensitive approach to making marks while discovering a new way of seeing the world around you.

The teaching method will be hands on learning with plenty of reference to examples and practical demonstrations.

This drawing course caters for those with little or no drawing experience at all.

Note: There is a maximum of 16 places available on this course.
