D041: Drawing Basics

Drawing & Painting, **NEW for Academic Year 2026-2027**

A relaxed, beginner-friendly introduction to drawing designed to build confidence and help you see the world like an artist. If you've ever said, “I can't draw,” this is the place to start. This class focuses on observation, simple techniques, and learning to trust your eye—without pressure or perfection. You'll explore a range of subjects and approaches, gaining practical skills while enjoying the process. Each week introduces accessible exercises that help you understand proportion, line, and basic shading, with plenty of guidance and encouragement along the way. By the end of the class, you'll have a sketchbook full of work and, more importantly, the confidence to keep drawing. This class is ideal for complete beginners or anyone looking for a supportive, creative starting point.

Please note there is no class meeting on Wednesday 14 October. Students are responsible for purchasing their own materials.
