This session will encourage you to build confidence and push your drawings further.

Enhance your existing drawing skills and use a variety of techniques and materials, set in the beautiful Chatsworth Garden art studio, The Old Potting Shed.

Led by experienced artist and teacher, Kim Bevan, the course is best suited for those who have some existing drawing experience. The sessions are structured to build confidence, encourage regular sketching habits and give you the tools to push your drawings further.

You’ll have the opportunity to discuss and review your work with fellow participants.

The course will cover:

  • Studying a variety of techniques and materials, including: pencil, tone, and colour through still life, and exploring coloured pastels with blending, line, and colour theory

  • Experiment with ink using brushes and tools for mark making, pattern, and expressive drawing

  • Matisse-inspired collage and tonal compositions

  • Life drawing, working from sculpture and applying measuring techniques with a range of materials to capture the figure

Our tutor will be on hand throughout the day to encourage you, and answer your questions.

This session offers a special opportunity to access Chatsworth Garden during the workshop, while it's closed for winter.

All equipment and materials are provided, but you are welcome to bring your own drawing equipment if you wish.
