Whether you're a complete beginner or returning to drawing after time away, this structured 4-session course offers a bridge between casual sketching and formal studio training.

You'll explore how to see like an artist, sketch with purpose, and draw faces with structure and expression.
Led by an experienced tutor in a supportive small-group setting, this workshop series is ideal for adults seeking a foundational art course that encourages practical skill development and visual understanding.
Learning outcomes

Use graphite pencil tools effectively to control line weight, edges, and shading
Apply light and shade to create form through cast shadows and tonal variation
Measure angles and proportions accurately to establish a balanced composition

Complete a drawing from a reference source using foundational techniques
