Course Program

Lesson 1

Seeing and Drawing the Basics

  • ⁠Start with a pre-instruction drawing—a valuable way to track your progress.

  • ⁠ ⁠Learn to "see" like an artist: switch off the left brain and turn on the right.

  • ⁠ ⁠Master volume drawing with chiaroscuro tonal zones as you build and hatch basic geometric shapes: a cylinder, a ball, and a cube.

  • ⁠ ⁠Create a viewfinder to help place and frame objects, then apply your skills in a guided still life drawing.

 

Lesson 2

Negative Space

  • Negative Space Observation – Train your eye to see the spaces around and between objects rather than the objects themselves.

  • Negative Space Drawing Exercise – Choose a simple subject (e.g., a plant, a stool, or a stack of books) and draw only the empty spaces around it.

  • Applying Negative Space in Composition – Explore how artists use negative space to create balance, depth, and visual interest in their work.

 

Lesson 3

Drawing Fabric, Ribbons and Flow

  • Learn to simplify folds into clear structural forms before adding detail.

  • Understand the different types of folds, including hanging, stretched, and compressed fabric.

  • Draw flowing ribbons to develop confidence with rhythm, movement, and line quality.

  • Apply light and shadow to create convincing volume in fabric.

  • Complete a finished drawing of draped cloth and flowing material.

 

Lesson 4

Space, Perspective and Landscapes

  • Warm up your observation skills with exercises such as upside-down drawing.

  • Learn to create the illusion of depth through perspective and spatial relationships.

  • Explore the fundamentals of one-point perspective to construct believable spaces.

  • Create a landscape using mark-making techniques, aerial perspective, and a bridge as the focal point.

 

Lesson 5

Portrait Drawing

  • Learn the fundamental proportions and construction of the head.

  • Explore facial features, light and shadow, and creating a convincing likeness.

  • Build the confidence needed to draw portraits accurately from observation.

 

Lesson 6

Speed Sketching

  • Develop confidence through a series of timed observational sketching exercises.

  • Learn to identify the most important shapes, proportions, gestures, and values without getting lost in details.

  • Discover how speed sketching improves observation, accuracy, and drawing confidence.

  • Experiment with different subjects and sketching times to capture the essence of what you see.

  • Finish the course by comparing your first drawing with your most recent work and reflecting on how much your observation and drawing skills have developed.
