Day Two
We'll develop more drawing skills, learning to make objects appear three-dimensional using light, shade and tone. We will also touch on perspective and other vital skills in preparation for drawing outside
Day Three
On our third day it's time to venture out into the vibrant streets of London (weather permitting). You will learn to observe and draw what's around you, drawing people, food and buildings. Throughout the day you will be creating a travel journal and personal storyboard of the area. There will be an optional visit to one of the terrific art materials shops nearby.
Day Four
Continuing to build on the power of observation, day four will start with a self-portrait exercise. In the afternoon there will be a life drawing session.

For the last day you will bring together all the skills you have developed throughout the week and create a drawing, painting or collage. To celebrate the art you have created throughout the week, there will be an exhibition in the evening for family and friends, with your work on display.
