Learn to Draw | Tue 2 Nov – Tue 14 Dec | 7 – 9pm | £75 (5 weeks) | Tutor Catherine MacDiarmid | 16+ | Studio 3
Drawing is a fundamental skill instinctive from an early age, however, for whatever reason, a lot of people give up when they are young. On this course, you will learn to reconnect with drawing through a series of enjoyable exercises designed to develop skills in translating what we see onto paper.
If this course has already started there may be places still available. Please contact sales@breweryarts.co.uk
