Learn to draw with acclaimed artist and teacher Leigh D Walker.
Drawing is a major foundational skill in all artistic practice. With Leigh’s specialist tuition, you will explore a variety of techniques and materials in a relaxed and encouraging environment.
This 8-week course will introduce students to different ways of seeing, thinking and drawing. Line drawing, tonal drawing, creating form, understanding tonal variations, shading and subtractive drawing are just a few of the techniques we will be covering.
Leigh will work closely with individual students, sharing her expertise in a fun and non-judgmental way.
This course will focus on object and still life drawing and is suitable for absolute beginners and those with a little drawing experience who would like to develop their skills.
There will be plenty of one-on-one tuition.
