Description

This beginning drawing course for adults invites you to explore drawing through a relaxed and sketchbook-centered approach that emphasizes enjoyment and personal growth. Using simple observation techniques and reference photography, you will learn foundational drawing skills progressively from the ground up; absolutely no prior experience is necessary.

Throughout the course, the emphasis is placed on releasing perfectionism, practicing mindfulness, and granting yourself permission to make mistakes as a vital part of the creative process. Through engaging and approachable exercises, you will build artistic confidence, improve your hand-eye coordination, and develop a sustainable sketchbook practice in a supportive, pressure-free environment. Instructor Laura will share her personal sketchbook journey to inspire your own practice. You will be encouraged to collect photographs and objects that inspire you and build a reference library for your ongoing drawing work. This can include personal photographs, famous artworks, magazine clippings, interesting objects, fabric patterns, and any other visual materials that spark your creativity.

Two black Sharpies: one fine point and one ultra-fine point
