This practical but inspiring course will help you hone your drawing skills, working from observation, reference and imagination.

We’ll explore emotions, body language, detail, texture and colour, following an overall theme each term. The theme for Summer 2023 is ‘Gardens, Parks and the Great Outdoors’.
This course is for you if:

For the first session, please bring in whatever drawing materials you have, pencils, coloured pencils, pens and paper of your choice. Further materials can be purchased from the school shop at competitive prices.
Suitable for: all levels, but some drawing experience would be useful. Ideal as a follow-on from ‘Learn to Draw’ class, but also useful for illustrators looking to refresh their approach.
