This comprehensive six-part course will suit absolute beginners as well as anyone who wants to improve their existing skills and understanding of techniques. The course is broken down as follows:

Week 1 is a gentle introduction with a series of exercises in mark-making which encourage you to get used to handling a pencil before you try some simple still lifes.

Week 2 concentrates on one composite still life, from assembling objects to completion.

Week 3 explores one of the most popular subjects for still life - plants.

Week 4 looks at landscapes, from understanding perspective and composition to planning and executing a complete project.

Week 5 introduces ways of sketching a range of familiar animals, from cats, dogs and horses to more exotic creatures.

Week 6 tackles the high point of most drawing courses - portraits and figures.

Throughout you will find the processes clearly explained and demonstrated in Barrington Barber's inimitable style - encouraging, inspiring and intent on showing that artistic excellence is not just for the professionals.
