Foundations of Drawing offers an exciting introduction to both drawing and to East Coast Art Studio's philosophy to learning art. Your course can be tailored to your specific level whether you be complete beginner or advanced. You can study drawing in our weekly classes all year round. Through the close study and appreciation of drawing techniques of artists such as Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Egon Schiele, Degas, Watteau, Käthe Kollwitz, Picasso, Giacometti and Marlene Dumas and Ingres we come to understand a hidden language. This language is the mystery of drawing, not academic drawing, but a line that can be harnessed to infuse an emotive reality in one’s work.


The study of drawing involves exploring line, weight, pressure, focus, depth and temperature. We emulate the surface qualities of excellent drawing from the breadth of art’s history. Foundations of Drawing starts you on this journey of discovery from the halls of art history: with practice this can lead you to your own personal style.


You will learn how to construct the figure, heads, landscapes in a tonal manner that is both organic and with methods that are repeatable in charcoal, pitt pastel, pencil etc.

You can also learn to draw in a highly abstract and expressive manner and work on a large scale on Fabriano paper . The subject matter is your choice we in the studio will guide you to complete work to a high standard.

You will also learn to use your sketchbooks like an artist as explorations of your inner and outer world that leads you to your own personal world of art and vision.


Past students have found this class very rewarding and appreciated having an environment in which they learned quickly and in a relaxed way. This programme sets a great foundation for both home study and continued practice in the East Coast Art Studios.


If you are mid to advanced level we will develop you in the areas you wish to improve and explore. You direct where you would like your teaching to go and the techniques or vision you would like to understand better. We have a large library of books and references to study from.
