Drawing for Beginners - Newark Buttermarket - Adult Learning

This course is designed to show you that any adult can learn to draw, as opposed to the common belief that it is an inherent talent.

The course will look at everyday items and analyze them for the purpose of drawing them as correctly as possible. You will repeatedly draw the same object in each lesson with regular class and individual feedback, encouraging you to see diverse aspects of what your eye perceives and how to convey that to the page.

You will learn to critically analyze items that you want to draw and be more aware of the rules to draw voluminous objects.

No skills or knowledge needed, the only request is lots of calm concentration and patience to try and try again.
