Course Overview
Develop confidence, technique, and artistic expression in this inspiring introduction to drawing at East Coast Art Studios. Through the study of master artists like Michelangelo, Ingres, Degas, Egon Schiele, Käthe Kollwitz, Picasso, Giacometti and Jenny Saville, you’ll uncover the expressive “language of line,” learning not only academic technique but how to imbue emotion and life into your drawings.
Over 5 full days, you’ll progress through structured studies and guided practice:
- Introduction & Technique Demonstration – learn drawing fundamentals and complete studies from Bargue plates to understand structure, proportion, and form
- Curved Line & Value Systems – explore softer tonal modelling and diffused light through sculpture studies
- Historical Studies – recreate works by Degas and Ingres using pencil and Pitt pastel on specialist papers
- Portrait Focus – study John Singer Sargent and/or a contemporary portrait to refine likeness and brush control
- Personal Project & Feedback – create original drawings inspired by techniques you found most engaging, and set a plan for ongoing study
