    Our four-part Trust the Process: Observational Drawing workshop invites you to explore the foundations of observational art.

    Designed for beginner artists and creative enthusiasts, the sessions focus on building confidence, developing observational skills, and embracing mark-making and tonal techniques.

    You will be guided through exercises that encourage experimentation, speed drawing, and creative problem-solving, using both everyday objects and photographic references.

    Trust the Process: Observational Drawing will lead you to developing a complete tonal sketch, encouraging reflection on progress and the creative process. Each session blends practical instruction with opportunities for discussion, collaboration, and playful exploration.

    These sessions can be attended as a full course or by or choosing individual sessions.

    Basic materials provided. Food and drink is also available for purchase throughout the session from our cafes. This workshop is suitable for ages 14+.
