Join artist Rose-Marie MJ for this 4-week crash-course where we’ll explore the various elements of drawing, bringing a newfound confidence in your mark making and a dynamism to your drawing.

Throughout the four weeks, we’ll learn how to make quick sketches in preparation for your drawing, discovering how to record a “scene” so that you’re ready to add depth and detail later on. Rose will cover total basics – how to control your pencil/drawing implement to obtain the very best effect. We’ll look at perspective, vanishing points and proportion to help us capture distance and depth within our work.

We’ll learning about values and shading – how the use of it can make your drawings feel 3D and jump off the page. We’ll use still life for inspiration, landscapes for focus as well as faces and portraits. This four-week course leads us on an exciting exploration of materials – smudgy pencils to charcoal, graphite, coloured pencils and pastels.

The Drawing Room is ideal for those who think they can’t draw for toffee and perfect for those who would like to revisit the basics to sharpen up their skills to gain more confidence in their drawing.

All materials provided.
