Weekly Drawing Studio

Weekly Drawing Studio

Develop your drawing through regular demonstrations, practical exercises and individual guidance.

Each week begins with a shared skill, followed by time to apply the technique to your own drawing. Teaching is adapted to your experience, so beginners and improvers can work alongside one another.

The programme

The rolling programme covers:

  • Line and careful observation

  • Proportion and measuring

  • Negative space

  • Light, shade and tonal values

  • Creating solid form

  • Composition and cropping

  • Perspective

  • Expressive charcoal

  • Ink and varied marks

  • Texture and surface

  • Developing and completing a personal project

The programme can be repeated using new subjects, materials and increasingly challenging projects.

How each class works

Every two-hour session includes:

  • A short drawing warm-up

  • A demonstration of the weekly skill

  • Time to develop your own work

  • Individual guidance and troubleshooting

Who is it for?

The studio welcomes adult beginners and improvers. It is ideal if you have completed the Beginners Drawing Course, are returning to drawing or would like regular tuition and encouragement.

You may join at any point, but classes are booked by the term rather than individually. The only one-off session available is a taster.
