A tutor-led creative drawing session where we will explore up to 20 different ways of drawing in a fun and experimental way.

We’ll start off with introductions, do some quick 2 minute and 5 minute pencil sketches to loosen up followed by a dozen or so 5 to 10 minute drawings in the sketchbooks provided - using a number of different pen and pencil types and using different styles and techniques.

We’ll use each other, our surroundings and a variety of objects that I bring along as our subject matter.

All materials will be provided - but bring your own pens or sketchbooks if you want to.
