Observational Drawing Course


Observational drawing is a vital skill for all visual artists. This course will enable you to gain confidence in drawing what you see using pencil, ink pens and charcoal. You will learn how to use a variety of mark-making techniques to create shape, form and texture in your drawings. General themes include natural and manufactured forms although I can teach you to draw whatever you may be interested in. By the end of the course you will be able to apply your drawing skills to a wide variety of subject matter to create striking images you will be proud of.

Course Outline:
