Sketching for the Scared!

Have some fun and learn a lot! Our friendly, talented tutors will teach you all the best tricks to really get to grips with the wonderful world of drawing. 

This tutor - led, one off beginners course is the perfect introduction to the basic principles of drawing.  You will spend your time in the inspiring setting of a London National Museum or Gallery, building your confidence with fun drawing exercises that will help you to begin to see and think like an artist.  

By using simple line and tone you will be able to recreate some of the statues and artifacts on paper as 2-dimensional studies. You will learn lots of tips and techniques that are needed for observational drawing and all of this in a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere!

What should you bring?

All the basic drawing materials are provided, however if you want to bring your own please feel free.  Some people might want to bring a sketch pad, otherwise lose sheets are provided by the tutors. Otherwise just bring yourselves, and a big dollop of creativity.  

Please note: It can get cold in the gallery, so please wrap up warm. 

Also, although we accept minors, they must be accompanied by an adult at all times, we have found that sometimes it's a bit too long for them to focus, so we advise this particular course is best suited to adults. 

A little about Frui's approach to teaching...

Frui adopts a positive teaching approach, meaning our encouraging and supportive tutors focus on what you are doing right, not wrong. Not only are our tutors all practicing artists, they are also experienced tutors who will encourage you to develop your own artistic voice and help to draw out what is individual about your work.
