Curious about drawing but not sure where to begin? This beginner-friendly 4-week drawing course is designed for anyone who wants to explore drawing in a relaxed and supportive environment. No prior experience necessary.
Across four sessions, participants will experiment with playful drawing exercises such as mark-making, blind contour drawing, negative space drawing, upside-down drawing, and expressive drawing prompts. Rather than focusing on technical perfection, this class encourages curiosity, experimentation, and new ways of seeing. Through guided exercises and individual support, participants will build confidence, discover enjoyable approaches to drawing, and develop a more relaxed relationship with the creative process.
