About this course

The course explores drawing and sketching. Step-by-step demonstrations are provided throughout for all abilities to follow. This is an exciting and expressive course discovering the wonders of sketching and drawing.

The course explores drawing techniques for charcoal, pencils, colour pencils, conté, pen and inks.
 
Tuition will include discussions based on six core principles: the perception of edges, spaces, relationships, light and dark, expression, and the 'Whole'.
 
Instruction will be given throughout the Year (Term 1-3) on perspective, portrait and figures, expressive/abstract sketching, and representational drawing. Exploring various themes such as from the animal world, nature, emotions/senses landscape, seascapes, people, still life and buildings.

The course will begin with exploring marking making with the humble and magnificent pencil. You will need your sketchbook or cartridge paper, putty rubber/eraser and sharpener.

As the course progresses additional media will be introduced.
 
You will be sent regular information via email for the media and themes, with advice on where to purchase additional materials prior to each project. The full list is here for you too with recommendations from Amazon and Jacksons Art.

Projects are spread over 1-2 weeks to give you plenty of time to complete drawings and sketches.
