Each time this course runs it will be a little different so these descriptions give you an idea of the range of subjects and media that you would use.
Session One : Line Observation
Experimenting with line and form we will create line drawings from observing found objects. You will use a range of materials from pencil, graphite, ink and pens.
Session Two: Texture, Tone and Composition
Looking at composition and tone we will work from observation and include texture and tone in black and white media.
Session Three: Body parts
In this session we will look at a part of the body and create an accurate measured drawing looking at proportion and line.
Session Four : Non Traditional Watercolour
From observation we will produce watercolour and ink studies considering line, colour and form of the subject.
Session Five: Colour
Using coloured ink we will work from observation overlaying and working with coloured inks and pencil.
Session Six: Collage
Using collage and mixed media we will look at creating imagery whilst considering composition and specific themes.

I loved this course! Sally us so encouraging and I felt so much more confident and free in my drawing at the end of each session.

I have just finished this course and I’m so glad I booked onto it. Sally is fantastic and showed us the process of how her drawings evolve, which was fascinating.
Each week we tried something new to draw and Sally introduced us to different materials and ways of working. There was lots of guidance in developing our own skills. It was lots of fun in supportive environment. I wish I could do the whole course again – Thank you!

I never wanted this course to end! I love Sally’s bubbly teaching style and the freedom to experiment with different materials and techniques under an expert eye. It’s a lovely venue and a fantastic course that’s spurred me on to draw more.

This was a lovely course with great content and encouraged me to try media I hadn’t tried before. Sally was a great tutor and helped me build my confidence as I hadn’t done any drawing for years.
