We are delighted to welcome back Minnie Teckman to teach this 4 week introductory drawing course to get you started and give you confidence in learning how to draw.
It is designed to build up your observational drawing skills, as well as exploring and learning techniques.
Each week there will be a different theme including tone and value, line and texture, form and space.
The lessons will be adaptable to allow Minnie to tailor them to the needs and desires of the group.
The course is designed for newcomers and absolutely no experience is expected.
It will be a small, friendly informal group with plenty of individual tutor time over each 2 hour session. You will be able to work from your own table and there is plenty of space to spread out. The main studio is on the ground floor and suitable for disabled access.
