Confident Drawing

This course acts as a bridge for students who wish to extend their experience of drawing and consider how it might be developed into painting, whilst contemplating how these two disciplines cross over and inform one another.

Following on from our initial introduction course, this course of 8 weeks explores and encourages participants to extend and enhance principles of art through observation and mark making. Working with a range of drawing materials and pushing the boundaries of a formal drawing practice this course acts as a springboard for adventures in drawing and art processes.

"I would like to thank you SO much for the lovely drawing of our RUFUS, He is so life like that it is like having him back with us. The detail that you were able to capture in his face, with his whiskers on the side of his face and the lines in his forehead were absolutely amazing. His Eyes are so bright and life like. He is always looking at us with a cheeky look. You are simply amazing with the time and patience you put into our little man..."

"I found Jenny as a tutor very generous with her vast knowledge. Her encouragement enabled me to approach my artwork with more confidence while teaching me the skills I needed to progress. Classes are fun and rewarding and I will be returning to learn more advanced techniques with her in the future. "

"Drawing classes with Jenny have been a way to enhance and extend my art practice. I enjoyed that she offered the exploration of drawing in many different ways using a good range of artist models. Jenny’s drawing classes were a way to develop drawing skills but also to explore ideas with a range of media and techniques. I enjoyed used some of the drawings and extended them into printmaking."
