Course details
Immerse yourself in the wonderful world of drawing. Steven Buckler brings his background in animation and MA in illustration to teach you techniques and tricks to drawing better images.
Working with light, shade and tone, this drawing session will open your eyes into creating form and introduce the importance of negative space. You will do a mix of short drawings using black, white and midtone papers and then work on longer pieces. By the end of the session you will have made some dramatic drawings and will be keen to try more!
We are happy to continue to offer limited FREE Scholarship places for those on low income. Please contact Cat Lee Youth Arts Manager for a Scholarship application form to apply [email protected].
