Course overview
Course description
This course will focus on drawing techniques and approaches that help you develop your skills in drawing the human form. Basic concepts like proportion, line, mark making, tone and gesture, as well as basic anatomy will give you a grounding and confidence in building up the structure of the body.
We will explore the use of a variety of materials, from pencil, charcoal, coloured chalks, water- based paint as well as collage material in order to create dynamic and personal expressions of this exciting and often challenging subject matter. We will also use different coloured paper as a ground to help with tonal studies. A materials list will be provided prior to the start of the course.
We will be working from photos and videos as well as demonstrations and handouts to inform each lesson.
This is suitable for beginners as well as experienced artists who would like to refresh their skills and practice figurative depictions.
