About this Event

Unlock your creative potential with our engaging drawing and mark-making class, specifically designed for complete beginners! Led by award-winning artist Ann Mackowski, who's been featured on SkyArts Landscape Artist of the year and has exhibited internationally, this class offers a welcoming environment where you can unleash your artistic passion. You'll start your journey by mastering the fundamentals with live demonstrations—learning how to break down complex subjects into simpler shapes, which will provide the sturdy framework you need for artistic expression. Whether you want to sketch as a hobby or aspire to develop a professional skill, this class is the perfect starting point! All supplies are included so just bring your interest and enthusiasm and show up!

Students begin with the fundamentals of breaking down complex subjects into simple shapes, fostering a strong foundation for their creative expression. They explore various mediums, including pencil for precision, charcoal for depth, and pen and ink for fluidity, allowing them to discover their unique styles, and drawing techniques such as laying a ground, hatching, stippling, scumbling and contouring. By the end of class you'll have a complete illustration

Midway through there will be a tea break with a chance to meet your fellow artists and make new friends! Class is located in the historic Westminster Quaker Meeting House in the heart of central London (Leicester Square station is the nearest tube) and you can expect to enjoy a welcoming atmosphere and creative environment.

Interested in joining the complete foundation course? Simply email us directly for a prospectus of our weekly classes from January-April 2025 for a discount and bonus classes.

We hope to see you there!
