Drawing is the foundational skill to any visual arts practice, from painting to sculpture. Having a strong understanding of how to capture what you see is crucial for any artist. In this two-day weekend workshop, you will learn how to hone your drawing skills through observation, specifically:

• Sighting and measuring

• Utilising perspective

• Identifying proportions

• Checking contours

• Establishing tonal relationships

• Keying your drawing

• Creating studies and refined pieces.

This class is suitable for students of any drawing level - it can provide a solid base for beginners and a focused refresher for more experienced artists.

The first day will be spent working from a series of still life set-ups, while the second day will centre on the human figure with a life model for the second half of class.

If desired, feel free to bring in an object or two of choice to draw on Day 1.
