Drawing is for everyone, it is part of being human! It is also essential for most other serious forms of visual art, particularly watercolour. But it does take some sustained effort (I will not call it 'work') and some guidance does help. In my course we practise creating the illusion of space and distance with the basic marks and shapes: the line, the sphere, the cube, the cylinder and the helix. Understanding how to portray these basic shapes enables an artist to draw absolutely anything: from architecture to bees. We do exercises using line, tone and texture; linear perspective, composition and using our imagination. Each week there will be: tutor demonstrations; visual presentations; reference books; and a still life or other arrangement to draw, with emphasis on the natural world.
We will do this while exploring a number of traditional drawing methods including graphite, charcoal and pen and ink.
