An intensive week structured around different drawing experiences every day, this course is for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the collective energy of an intensive drawing course and significantly improve their drawing skills. Students will be able to experience a variety of drawing sessions including drawing from models, focussing on anatomy, imagination, collage and world imagery.

Discussion of the various reasons for making life drawings will be encouraged, individual guidance will be given throughout, and the week will culminate in a critique of students’ work. Suitable for all levels including beginners, this course is specially designed for those students interested in improving their drawing skills in an immersive environment and useful for building a portfolio. The variety of starting points will challenge and keep students on their toes, awake and alert, to all the possibilities of drawing.


Free charcoal, newsprint and masking tape are provided in the Studios. There is an added paper fee for the use of cartridge and watercolour paper throughout the course. 

This course is for students 18 and over.
