What happens at this event?

WEDNESDAY 7-9PM. LEVEL: BEGINNERS / INTERMEDIATE

This course focuses on traditional drawing methods, exploring still life, cast, portrait, and figure drawing through careful observation and structured techniques. Students will develop an understanding of proportion, value, light, and form while strengthening their observational drawing skills. Studies will be completed from references, including master drawings inspired by historical atelier training. Drawing exercises will emphasise observational skills, shape design, edge control, and the construction of three-dimensional form.

 

Things to remember

For the first class you will need: some drawing paper, pencils, charcoal, an eraser, and something to sharpen your pencils and charcoal with (ideally some sandpaper).

  • Graphite pencils - Bring a variety, for instance: 2H, B, HB, 2B, 4B, 6B.

Thanks so much for your classes Brook and sorry I had to miss a few. Learnt heaps from your lessons and glad I got to catchup on some fundamentals that helps me with my future charcoal drawings. Definitely love the rendering techniques and how to make the sketched proportions better!
