This course is recommended for those who have no knowledge and skills in producing three-dimensional tonal drawings but would like to venture into exploring how to do either a still-life observation, a portrait, or a landscape.

The eight-week course will allow you the time to gently venture into learning about either of these subjects, including your own creativity and about yourself.

What will you learn:

The skills, techniques, and tips you will learn, will allow you to produce an artwork of your choosing.

What to expect:

The course is designed with you in mind as the sessions…

I wasn't expecting a one-to-one experience and felt immensely fortunate. I have only had one session so far but I feel very enthusiastic about the lessons ahead of me. I shall take my homework very seriously! This first session was mainly to find out my strategies and skills, drawing/sketching an open box freehand, then drawing it again in a different position with a grid to help me. Again Pat was interested in the strategies I employed and my skills. On the basis of these two drawings and the precious object I took with me, she helped me to decide on an angle that would tell a story about the object. I found that fascinating. I teach so part of my mind was bound to be on the way Pat teaches. She is careful, kind, encouraging and treats me as a real person. She is also clearly focused on the 'journey' that her pupils are going to take, and I have every faith in her. I see myself having an interesting and productive time with Pat over the next seven weeks.

I learnt so many techniques! My teacher was absolutely amazing and I was so happy with every part of the course. I have a piece of artwork I would never have believed I could have accomplished so thank you very much! A lot of preparation was put into each class for me and I really appreciated all the personal touches which allowed me to improve - it’s been a great experience !!
