See it, Draw it, Colour it!
 
Ever wanted to be able to draw what you see, but don’t think you can?
 
Our Beginner's Drawing evening class will teach you how to draw! Whether you want to recreate a scene of a place you visited, draw your favorite pet or just draw someone you’ve been inspired by, we'll help to make you know how to make them look like you’ve been drawing for years. This class will guide you to find your own unique drawing style as you bring your pictures to life
 
"Drawing is just taking a line for a walk." – Paul Klee
 
Think of learning to drawing like learning a new language - each line and shade is like a word, and as you learn more, you become fluent in expressing yourself visually
 
What You Will Learn:
 
Week 1: Starting with the Basics
Kick off developing your drawing skills using graphite and charcoal. These foundational tools will help you grasp the essential techniques of line drawing and shading, setting the stage for more complex creations.
 
Week 2: Adding Depth and Dimension
Now that you've got the basics down, it's time to dive deeper. This week, you'll learn to enhance your drawings with tonal still life techniques, adding shadows and highlights to bring your work to life.
 
Week 3: Exploring Perspectives
Expand your skills by tackling more detailed images. We'll focus on perspective and angles, crucial tools for drawing realistic scenes and objects, giving your artwork a sense of depth and realism.
Week 4: Introducing Color
Add a splash of colour to your work with soft pastels. This week is all about experimenting with color to express mood, atmosphere, and texture in your drawings.
 
Week 5: Combining Techniques
Put all your skills to the test! Using acrylic paints, you'll combine everything you've learned to create a comprehensive, finished piece that showcases your growing mastery of drawing.
 
Weeks 6 & 7: Independent Projects
With the basics well in hand, these final weeks are your chance to express yourself freely. Choose your favorite mediums and subjects to create individual projects that reflect your personal style and interests.
 
This structured approach ensures you build a solid foundation in drawing, then gradually advance to more complex techniques and mediums, resulting in the freedom to explore your own artistic expressions.

Everything you do is just a stepping stone to getting awesome at drawing & painting it can be learned.
