Join Deidre Wicks in this five-week virtual course designed to expand your approach to drawing. This course delves into how fundamental elements in drawing can create powerful and nuanced artworks. You’ll investigate drawing materials and techniques, explore how to build rich textures, convey emotion of the subject matter through line, and understand the impact of colour within your drawings.
