The skill of drawing, or mark making, is a basic form of human expression and a wonderful tool for change. The aim of the Interpreting the Figure course is to enhance self-expressi on through figure drawing. As a means of finding the essence of the pose you will be encouraged to see and think differently. Tune into your five senses when responding to the natural world - it will heighten your awareness and assist to identify the essence of a subject. Ian will show you how to build your own practice from this foundational course. ...To those who say they are not creative, I say: To cook is to be creative.
