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

What will the course or workshop cover and how will it be taught?

With expert guidance, tutor demonstrations and within a supportive and social setting, you will be able to achieve drawings that you are proud of.

Through a series of drawing tasks, you will learn to:

  • Explore different drawing techniques using pencil, graphite, charcoal and pastel.
  • Connect with your observation of a subject matter through some enjoyable tasks that will increase your skills within the discipline of drawing.
  • Appreciate elements that make up a well-drawn composition through the practical application of different processes and techniques.
  • Apply some simple colour theories in the production of a coloured drawing.
  • Appreciate some different approaches to, and styles of, drawing by looking at artists’ work.
  • Different methods of teaching and learning will include practical work, demonstrations, group discussion, one-to-one advice and guidance, looking at work by other artists, and peer learning.
