Kethi was super friendly, welcoming and is extremely good at what she does as an artist and seeing her work prior to the start of the class was really inspiring. The venue on the Thames was ideal as there was never a lack of buildings to chose from, equally it meant that with each new drawing a new focal point could be picked and this prevented the 4 hours from feeling repetitive. In terms of the actual learning aspect there was not all that much teaching that went on, i have some experience in drawing and after each activity we would discuss where i could develop my drawings but there wasn't any teaching of new skills or exploring different ways to take on a drawing. As well as this i would probably say that 4 hours is slightly too long for the class and perhaps 3 hours would be better suited. That said, it was a super fun, light hearted afternoon of drawing and a very enjoyable way to spend a few hours in the sun on the Thames. I will definitely be taking another drawing class in the future!
