What?
These one day workshop concentrate on the basics of good drawing practice. Drawing is a vital skill that not only provides a solid basis for your painting but also a way of expressing and evaluating ideas.

Besides all that, it’s an enjoyable pastime! Using pencil, charcoal and chalk, you will start the day drawing simple objects, moving on to more complex arrangements and working towards trying self portraits. Finally, there will be a 1.5 hour session drawing from a live model.

See a breakdown of the topics covered below.

Attendees will be encouraged and mentored in a convivial atmosphere. Drawing paper, drawing boards, chairs and tables are provided.
