Come and learn some useful tools to help you draw anything with confidence, from people and characters to landscapes and cityscapes, starting with the two universal forms: the straight line and the curve.
Following step-by-step exercises, this workshop will introduce you to form drawing, drawing shapes and how to use composition to make your own artwork.
Fun for all the family! All materials provided.
