Explore: figure drawing – develop a personal approach

About this course

Participants develop a sustained body of related figure drawings through observation, experimentation, reflection and revision. Sessions retain a clear structure while allowing learners to direct attention towards areas such as composition, mark making and emphasis. The course combines guided feedback with increasingly independent work. Learners are encouraged to clarify their artistic decisions, refine drawings over time and discuss the ideas and choices behind their approach.
