About this Event
Improve your observational sketching and learn how to sketch in one point perspective at the V&A Museum, with experienced illustrator and tutor Natalie Arnold. nataliearnoldart.com
This morning session is aimed to improve your observational sketching using perspective drawing techniques. It is suitable for all - artists wanting to improve their technique, designers looking to improve their freehand sketching skills, and for beginners who are new to drawing. Some drawing experience is helpful but not essential as tuition is tuned to the individual - whatever level of drawing you are currently at!
You will be calmly guided through the perspective sketching process in what aims to be an enjoyable and creative session. A maximum of 8 students enables more individual attention for each student and a better learning experience.
