Introduction to drawing

Learn to draw through a series of guided exercises with an experienced tutor who has taught this subject for many years. You start by being encouraged to look and see your subjects afresh, and gain confidence in line drawing. Then perspective and tone are introduced and the final exercise brings all your learning together to tackle drawing a room and its objects. 

Ability: Suitable for all
The minimum time required to watch and respond to the video content and complete the tasks is 6 hours. The tutor also recommends how you can develop your work further so that you can continue to use the skills acquired on this course for future projects.
Access: Six months of online access to all of the course content.

The course was very enjoyable and constructive, so cleverly designed to give you invaluable tools which take you beyond an introduction to abstraction. Thank you.
