A six-week drawing course covering a range of techniques, from understanding your tools to mastering observational drawing.
Join us at Chatsworth for an immersive drawing course led by experienced artist and teacher, Kim Bevan.
About the course
This course will guide you through a range of drawing techniques, from understanding your tools to mastering observational drawing.
You’ll have the opportunity to discuss and review your work with fellow participants.
Over the six week course, we will explore line, colour, shape and tone, experience outdoor drawing exercises focusing on the flora and fauna found around the Chatsworth Garden and take part in studio sessions which will challenge your observation skills through precise measuring techniques.
Each session encourages you to take risks and be creative, helping you build a portfolio of artwork to take home.

Observation - Enhance your still life drawing skills and explore a range of media, focusing on the art of observation.
