2 Day Drawing Workshop for all levels of artists

Course outline

Join renowned artist and teacher Leigh D. Walker for a dynamic and hands-on 2-day workshop designed to rapidly enhance your drawing skills in a supportive and encouraging setting.

Drawing is the foundation of all artistic practice, and Leigh is passionate about equipping you with solid, essential techniques that will strengthen your artistic journey. In this intensive workshop, you'll explore a variety of drawing methods and materials, helping you develop a deeper understanding of how to see, think, and draw.

Over the two days, we will cover key drawing techniques such as sketching form, understanding tonal variations, controlling line quality, shading, and subtractive drawing. The focus will be on object, still life, figure, and portrait drawing, with plenty of opportunity to experiment and refine your skills.

The workshop will feature a combination of structured lessons and ample time for hands-on practice, offering personalized one-on-one guidance. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced artist, this workshop is designed to meet you where you are and help you grow.

By the end of the two days, you’ll have the tools and confidence to approach your drawings with fresh insight and technical ability. Come prepared to dive in, experiment, and take your drawing to the next level. 

This is a fun, no fuss, no stress workshop where you can try new types of drawing and journalling in an interactive workshop.  Leigh is one of our most popular tutors who will provide one on one tuition to participants as they develop their drawing skills.
