Everybody can draw. It’s true!
We put it to the test, too, at this FREE life drawing course for all levels of ability, including (and particularly welcoming) absolute beginners.
Over four weeks, you will be guided through drawing exercises that will build skills and confidence in figure drawing, as well as engage you with your own innate creative spark.
