Sian Day Lewis
Feel like you've “never been good at drawing”? Or maybe it's been years since you last picked up a pencil? This class is made just for you. The Fundamentals of Drawing is a welcoming, no-pressure space to learn the basics, or finally make sense of them.
We'll take it step by step: understanding shapes, getting proportions right, and learning simple shading tricks that make a big difference. No fancy materials needed, and no prior experience expected. Just bring your curiosity and whatever sketchbook or pencils you have.
Please bring a sketchbook (A4 or A5 is perfect, but any size will do), along with an HB pencil and a softer pencil like a 2B or 4B. A soft white eraser or kneaded eraser is recommended, and a sharpener is always handy. A ruler can be useful for practicing proportions and perspective, though it's not essential. Feel free to bring any pens or extra tools you enjoy using.
