Life Drawing: The Art of Sketching
Drawing & Painting
Explore free-hand sketching techniques, using and combining media such as pencil, graphite, charcoal, crayon, markers, ink & wash and watercolour.
During the 12-week term you will work from the figure to explore line, tone, scale, gesture and composition in an open-minded manner, freed from the constraints of representation.
Whether you’d like to come to learn how to draw the figure or you wish to expand your drawing practice, this course features a “hands on, hands off” approach therefore it is suitable for various levels, particular for those wishing to expand from a post-beginner level and those who wish to expand their drawing practice.
A materials list will be provided prior to the course starting.
