Course description
This course is aimed at those who have completed our ‘Sketching Interior Spaces Part 1' course (or who have the skills outlined in Part 1) and who wish to continue to develop their drawing skills in sketchbook format in response to live spaces.
Course aims and benefits:
This course aims to introduce students to more specialist techniques (such as working with 2 point perspective and more complex viewpoints) as well as developing a further understanding of the effective use of key drawing media in terms of describing figures and movement, textures, light and shadows when observing and responding to interior environments.
Students will learn about the principles of 2 point perspective and how to apply and explore its rules when sketching on location. Each week students will visit some of London’s most exciting and prestigious museums and cultural spaces from which to record their observations and build confidence in developing their own individual drawing skills.

*Developing 2 point perspective techniques.
* How to draw figures and capture movement.
* Mark-making and texture/ materiality.
