First Steps to Drawing

Build confidence and strengthen your core drawing skills in this 4-week workshop designed to provide a solid foundation in the arts. Whether you’re a complete beginner or returning to drawing after a break, this course provides a supportive introduction to the essential tools and techniques of observational drawing.

Over four weeks, you’ll explore key concepts such as line, shape, proportion, shading, texture, and perspective. Through guided exercises and focused studies, you’ll learn how to really see your subject and translate what you observe onto the page. We’ll work with a variety of simple still-life setups and reference materials to help you develop accuracy, depth, and expressive mark-making.

Each session includes demonstrations, hands-on practice, and individual guidance to help you grow at your own pace. The emphasis is on process, progress, and building strong foundations, not perfection.
