Drawing workshops are an excellent opportunity for beginners and advanced artists alike to refine their skills and improve their artistry. These workshops provide a supportive environment where participants can learn from our experienced instructor Rob Oldfield.

Over five sessions, you will explore different subjects. In the first three workshops, the focus will be on the parts of a figure, namely heads, hands, and feet. The subsequent workshops will concentrate on still-life, where one workshop will be dedicated to natural forms, and another will be focused on man-made forms. Join all five sessions or just one.

The workshops are structured in a way that allows participants to work at their own pace and level, while also receiving guidance and feedback from the instructor.
