An absolute beginner’s drawing class for those who have always aspired to draw but may be holding back. Learning to draw is essential for all aspiring artists and in this studio you’ll take those first steps with the encouraging handhold you’ve been looking for. Even if the idea of putting a dot on a piece of paper makes you feel a tiny bit tremulous, over eight weeks, we’ll explore how to bring eye, hand and pencil to paper and expand basic lines into shaded forms, moving textures and more. With the additional classes, we’ll go further in our journey as we address the facial proportions of a self-portrait, delve into landscape drawing and work with thumbnail sketches to assist with composition. All materials are supplied – just show up and let it happen.
