it begins with core drawing skills

The starting point for all new students at OSAS. This is a 2 hour, one to one session, with drawing exercises, a demonstration and conversation.

Who is it for?

We welcome all abilities and work with complete beginners, people returning to art after a break as well as professionals in the creative industries.

You might feel you were never taught the basics or are looking to hone some slightly rusty skills. You could be a confident draughtsperson keen to push yourself to the next level.

During the session

Following welcome and introductions our experienced tutors will get you started on a still life drawing in pencil, before making a full demonstration drawing themselves.

We cover all the basics beginning with materials, setup, how to start your drawing. Key learning includes getting your proportions correct, learning to appraise your drawing and making corrections.

By the end you will have learned and practised highly transferable skills that can be used for all observational drawing: still life, landscape, figure drawing etc.

The session concludes with a conversation about your interests and motivations for your art.

If you would like to continue with more sessions we can begin to discuss your pathway, which could be further drawing or painting in oils, acrylics or watercolour.
