'How to Draw' Online Art Tutorial

Art Workshops in Your Own Home!

Our in-house artist Helen Palmer has created two fun online workshops to teach you the basics of how to draw.

Simply follow the link in your booking confirmation email and print off the images sent to you to begin your very own home tutorial.

Use these art workshops for home education, as a fun activity, or as a gift for a friend.

How to Draw Part One: Follow this 15-minute tutorial to learn the basics of linear drawing through shape. Stop, start and replay as much as you need to, as you complete the exercises with the artist.

How to Draw Part Two: This second tutorial is 35 minutes long and will introduce you to the concept and techniques of shading. Learn through watching, listening and doing in this easy to follow tutorial.

Please note the date shown is not relevant as there is no event taking place - it is only there to enable you to book on and receive the links to the two online tutorials and images.
