Course Description
Introductory courses at Heatherley provide a basic grounding in the principles of drawing. These courses have been devised for students who would like to establish a foundation of observational and investigative drawing processes. Largely studio based, they mainly focus on still-life and life model subject matter.
Students taking general life drawing courses are taught to represent the human form in a range of media such as pencil, charcoal, pen and wash, pastel and watercolour. All aspects of drawing are explored including composition, perspective and the use of colour in order to build confidence and to offer new creative opportunities. There is also a figurative oil painting course.
