The course provides practical guidance covering a range of exercises aimed at improving composition, accuracy and observation, with a view to producing expressive and characterful drawings in pencil and charcoal. Portraiture will be studied in the context of full-length figure drawing. Students will establish a solid foundation in drawing from a life model. For 8 of the 10 weeks, you will be drawing from either a male or female model. For 2 sessions, you will draw portraits of yourself and/or fellow participants.

There will be a half term break on 17 February, with classes resuming on 24 February. 

Some previous drawing experience is helpful, or a willingness to have a go!
