In this engaging and accessible lesson, students of all abilities will use the grid method to bring the Roman Forum to life in graphite. By breaking the image into clear sections, learners gain confidence in capturing architectural detail with accuracy and flair.
With a focus on proportion, perspective, and expressive shading, this project encourages careful observation and creative interpretation—perfect for building core drawing skills in a supportive setting.
In this relaxed and rewarding lesson, students of all abilities will use comparative measuring to draw a portrait wrapped snugly in a blanket. It’s a chance to explore proportion and form while capturing the cosy textures of fabric and the gentle character of a resting face.
Working in graphite, learners will enjoy experimenting with soft shading and expressive detail, all within a supportive and light-hearted atmosphere. A perfect project for building portrait skills while keeping things warm and welcoming!
In this vibrant and tactile session, students will explore the delicate beauty of winter berries—from frosted rose hips to glossy holly and snow-dusted branches. Using watercolour pencils, learners will sketch and layer colour to create rich, seasonal compositions that celebrate nature’s quiet resilience.
This project encourages close observation and gentle mark-making, with the added fun of activating colours with water for soft blends and striking contrasts. It’s a wonderfully festive way to build confidence with colour while embracing the textures and tones of winter.
In this fun and expressive session, students will create vibrant floral arrangements in a vase using oil pastels, inspired by the dynamic style of Raoul Dufy. Bold colours, energetic lines, and playful composition take centre stage as learners explore how to capture movement and mood in their work.
This project is perfect for all abilities, encouraging experimentation with layering, blending, and mark-making. With Dufy’s spirited approach as inspiration, students will discover how to turn everyday florals into lively, personality-filled artworks.
