Tuesdays @ 11am (Returning 20th April – 25th May!!)
This course is designed to improve participants’ observation skills, hone their control of drawing media and deepen their understanding of shape and form through a series of exercises, drawn from art history. The six sessions concentrate on rendering 2-dimensional forms to increase pencil control and eye-hand coordination. Previous participants have commented that engaging with pure form through drawing leads to a calming of the mind, producing an almost meditative state that bolstered their sense of wellbeing. Join artist and facilitator for Robert Peters for this enjoyable and engaging course.
UPDATE!
Fans of this course may be interested to know that Robert will be offering four sessions in June on Wednesday evenings 6.30 – 8.30 applying colour theory to portraits and still-life subjects. Contact him via robertpetersa@gmail.com for details.
Participants will need to have some paper and a set of drawing pencils ranging from 2H, HB, 2B to 4B, a ruler, a rubber and a sharpener. You’ll also need to download and print the images below.
This link https://youtu.be/zsJlEsmI1ms shows how to build the cubes.

This week with the grid of the London scene was something quite new for me and I found it really difficult in parts, but it was so important to have the grid, so as to keep all the proportions correct . A really intensive and instructive class. I am so behind and have a lot of homework to catch up! Thank you.
Brigid Brady
Thank you Robert.
I have enjoyed classes to date. My apologies for today, I have another appointment.
I will catch up on line.

Elaine
OK on now thanks!
Kev Steguitar
Could you advise on best pencils for the coloured drawing scheduled to start soon
Thanks
Mary Hodgson
I’ve learned new techniques and now look differently – seeing shapes rather than objects – and am now looking forward to taking my sketchbook and pencils outdoors during the summer – once it stops raining. Also it’s been good to have a routine and a time to focus during the lockdown and social isolation. I hope the classes stay available so I can brush up the parts I need to practice
more. Thank you Robert and Greysnet for keeping me supplied with the resources I wasn’t able to print. And thanks for sharing your expertise and your patience.
