Learning Pathways - Drawing

"Anyone can draw if they are given the right instructions.” - Marcel Desbiens, Master Artist and Principal Tutor

Marcel has designed learning pathways to give students structure as they develop from novice to advanced artist.

If you have limited or no experience with Drawing, then we recommend you start with Introduction To Drawing with Annette Raff.

In 2024 we are offer an exciting collection of Life Drawing weekends - one per Term.  We start with Annette Raff in February, and then Life Drawing, with Patrick J Jones in May.  We round out the series with David Bongiorno in August.  All three weekends are aimed at Beginners, but each tutor will bring different styles and techniques to this important art practice.

Throughout the year, Jan Lawnikanis will broaden your drawing techniques and use of materials in a friendly and supportive environment.
