Beginners Drawing Course

So you think you can't draw? Think again!



2.5 hours Class size 1 to 8     label £110

If you think you can't draw but have always wanted to give it a try, then this beginners' course run by local artist Olivia Irvine is for you!

This 3-week, 7.5 hour course, includes a series of three, 2.5 hour introduction to drawing workshops, which you can also book individually (see separate listings). You will try out exercises that activate the more visual part of your brain, helping you to really look. Using the humble HB pencil, you will learn how to see and relate to shapes in an absorbing way, which results in drawings that are more dynamic and accurate than you may have thought possible.

The Arienas Collective creative workshop hub is located in a beautiful, Georgian mews home in Edinburgh's historic New Town.

The Collective was set up to help local artists and makers earn a living through sharing their creative skills and passions with others. Our name emanates from Loch Arienas: a remote and reflective spot in the Scottish Highlands much loved by founder Lynn Powell.

Discover our space by booking a workshop, or popping along to our Open Day - the only day we open to the public.
