Realistic drawing L1
£145.00
Weekend course 2-days
The perfect place to start improving core drawing and observational skills to draw accurately and realistically from life. Learn new drawing practices that will improve your ability to draw with more realism and detail. Learn measuring techniques to observe proportions, angles and relationships with greater accuracy.
There is a strong focus on techniques for rendering with graphite pencils and an option to try colour pencils. Our subject matter takes inspiration from van Gogh and the Dutch masters. We will learn to render surface detail and material quality of different surfaces such as leather, fabric, glass, and fruit.
The course gives students new levels of drawing confidence and skills that will form the foundation upon which all future drawing and painting will be built on.
Suitable for:
Adult, beginners, improvers, returners
