Drawing and Beyond

About the class

Drawing & Beyond is a contemporary mixed media drawing course that offers individuals with some basic skills an opportunity to build on their current understanding of what drawing is and what it can be.

Participants will learn to observe and develop expression in their work, explore mark making, make their own tools, tackle small and large-scale compositions as well as experiment with a range of wet and dry media in response to weekly themes. There will be plenty of inspiring artist references as well as opportunities to discuss ideas and develop concepts in a relaxed and supportive environment.
