Winter Drawing Foundation with Hannah Turner-Duffin
An eight-week drawing course designed for beginners and artists wanting to strengthen their foundations.
Working from still life, printed references, live models and one another, students will explore line, shape, proportion, negative space, tone, mark-making and portraiture.

All drawing materials, paper, worksheets and live-model sessions are included.
