This course will provide step-by-step practical guidance in drawing for beginners, using a variety of materials, formats and styles. Each day will be dedicated to a different subject matter, building on a range of basic drawing techniques.
Session titles
1. Exploring pencils: playing with text using line, shape, tone and texture and applying these to creating a foolproof abstract composition in pencil.
2. Creating with fine liners and ball point pen: exploring line contours, observation and startling quick sketches.
3. Space and composition: developing simple collage compositions into observational drawing using the grid.
4. Observing from life: learning how to look and to draw what you actually see.
5. Drawing myself: observational drawing using blind contour and continuous line into a proportioned self portrait.
A list of materials will be supplied on registration.
