The Beginners Guide to Drawing

The Beginners Guide to Drawing

Here’s a question—how do artists draw the world around them? Here’s the answer—they learn the techniques and then they keep going. Absolutely anyone can learn, including you.

For the first 4 weeks of this 6 week course you’ll learn about the importance of shapes, lights and darks, what to do about distance and you’ll start the dance with perspective. You’ll produce multiple drawings including landscape, still life, buildings and more.

While you’re doing that you’ll be playing with the most traditional instruments of drawing. This includes two different kinds of pencils, pens and charcoal. We’ll also use plain old dead sticks from the garden—wouldn’t you like to know what that’s about?

The final two weeks of the course are an unstructured opportunity for you to develop your own original artworks. Felicity will be there to help, guide and support.

This is a productive, low stress course where enjoyment is an important goal. You don’t need to know anything about art but you sure will by the end of the six weeks. Come and draw!

A materials list will be supplied after booking.
