We will explore sketching, shading, perspective and proportions, alongside working in different mediums.

 

If you have always fancied learning to draw or if it is something you would like to get back into after a long break this course will take you back to the basics to get you started.

    Fantastic intro to drawing! Lisa did a great job of explaining the different topics in simple to understand ways, and when combined with the different exercises she had for us I found it very easy to take what we did in the sessions and practice at home. Highly recommend.

  16. Vanessa

    It took me years to get the courage to do this course, having been put off drawing completely at school. Lisa was patient and supportive and I now have the confidence to practice, and most importantly, to actually believe that drawing is a skill that can be learned! The final lesson, where I used watercolours for the first time, was a high point for me. I drew and painted something I’m proud to show people. Wow!

  17. Luke T

    Just recently finished this course, my second with Lisa at Straight Curves. I miss the weekly sessions already- I learnt so much, and it gave me the confidence to just have a go at home. It’s a supportive environment to learn, and Lisa is great at bringing everyone along. I was hopelessly inept when I started, and now I realise I have the capability- it’s all practice!
    If you’re umming and ahhing, give it a go. You wont regret it!

  20. Mary Read (verified owner)

    I started this course without any experience whatsoever to learn how to draw. I had no idea what to expect and felt out of place at first as the others were very talented. I’m amazed at how much I’ve learnt and look forward to improving with practice. Thank you for your patience and guidance.
