What will I learn?

We will learn how to create a realistic-looking texture using a selection of pencils, charcoal sticks, watercolour pencils and fine line pens. We will practice shading by using strokes, feathering, crosshatching, fading shading, learning about form, light, shapes, composition, depth and perspective. We will achieve these by drawing simple 3-D shapes, a still-life, landscape and townscape/cityscape.

Who is the course for?

This course is suitable for both beginners and students who have already attended our previous courses and workshops. If you are new to this there is no need to worry, you will be under the professional supervision of our art tutor Marina.

Will I have to provide anything?

Please bring a selection of pencils, watercolour pencils, charcoal sticks and fine line pens, along with some good quality paper and a sketch book.

 

The tutor will be able to advise on art materials needed for the classes, please speak to her before buying materials.
