Basic Drawing
Draw with Confidence
This course introduces fundamental drawing skills to beginners with little to no prior experience, helping students to draw with confidence. Students will learn how to observe and translate simple forms on paper using basic techniques. The workshop begins with line control and shading methods to create depth and volume, and gradually moves to the exploration of geometric forms to understand light, shadow, and structure, contour drawing, proportion basics, and the use of negative space. The course culminates in a guided still life project.
