If you've ever wanted to take up drawing but didn't know where to start, this one-to-one drawing course in London will give you everything you need to start your artistic journey.
Hosted in the striking Reading Room at the Wellcome Collection in Euston, you'll be tutored by an experienced fine art practitioner in all aspects of drawing with graphite pencils. Over the course of four one-to-one sessions, you'll be able to focus on any aspect of drawing that catches your imagination — from realistic still-life drawings to impressionistic portraiture, the course is tailored to your skills and needs.
Don't worry if you've never even picked up a pencil before, as the sessions are designed with beginners in mind, and everything will be provided for you before your first class, so all you need to bring with you is a love for art! Whether you want to take up sketching as a creative outlet or want to give your child's GCSE or A-Level art portfolio a boost, this class offers the ideal starting point for anyone keen to learn to draw.

I had such a great experience.
Patricia Burrell was a great instructor, helpful, easy to understand and delightful to work with.
I also enjoyed the Reading Room at the Wellcome Collection. It is a great setting, peaceful and quiet and surrounded with great books and art work. Couldn’t have picked a better location.
