Monday 26th to Saturday 31st Suitable for both beginners and more advanced artists, this course will provide a thorough and enjoyable programme of drawing instruction.Working towards improving your handling of more traditional methods, we will begin by exploring different aspects of drawing technique, through the use of experimental and liberating materials and methods.We will work from quicker and more spontaneous works towards more resolved drawings from the model. As your understanding increases, drawing from life will become a more and more enjoyable and fun experience.
