Four sessions, four questions.

  1. Week 1

    Where does the edge go?

    Slow down an outline. Compare what your eye notices with the shape on the page.

  2. Week 2

    How big is one part?

    Use a reference length to compare the height and width of a simple object.

  3. Week 3

    Where does the light fall?

    Make a five-step tonal scale, then use it to separate light, middle and shadow.

  4. Week 4

    What would you change?

    Return to the first object. Choose one observation to carry into the next drawing.

Before you book.

This is a sample course, not a live booking. Confirm dates, access needs, materials, payment and cancellation terms directly with the business before paying.

If a group lesson does not suit how you learn, ask about an individual format. No progress or outcome is guaranteed.
