Course details
Steven Buckler believes that everyone can draw! Join him in this practical workshop exploring buildings, perspective and observation.
You’ll discover simple techniques to help you make sense of what you see, using perspective and observation to draw buildings with confidence.
Working in pencil before adding colour with ink or watercolour, you’ll create your own finished artwork while discovering how artists use line, tone and perspective to bring places to life. You’ll leave with practical techniques that can be applied to anything you choose to draw.
For young artists aged 11-16, this group helps young people connect with their creativity and get to know contemporary art practices.
