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 session is aimed at improving your observational sketching using perspective drawing techniques. It is suitable for all - beginners who are new to drawing, artists wanting to improve their technique and designers looking to enhance their freehand sketching skills. 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.
