Learn to make drawings/sketches with pencil and graphite (9H to 12B).

Each session will allow you to discover and practice a specific technique. Between two sessions, targeted exercises will allow you to progress in a measurable way, in small steps.

In drawing, there are no miracles: it is practice, training, perseverance, which are the sources of progress.

All materials will be provided to you (pencils, papers).

During the first session, a series of examples of my creations will offer you a concrete overview of the techniques and styles that I can help you master.

You can start from scratch!
You don’t need to know anything about drawing, painting or printmaking. We can build up together your own way of observation and if you are self-taught then bring over your artworks and we will talk about how to develope your style or discover new paths of your own expression.
Each session will focus on different theme, providing wide range of techniques to raise confidence through various drawing approaches including still life, life drawing and portraiture.
