Discover new ways of seeing and drawing in this inspiring 5-week course at the National Galleries of Scotland.
Taking place entirely within the gallery, this course focuses on drawing directly from original works. Rather than simply copying, we will use transcription to explore one to three key masterpieces in depth – discovering their underlying geometries, hidden shapes and tonal shifts. Looking at how contemporary artists like Clintel Steed, Lucy MacGillis and Cecily Brown use these same approaches today, you will learn how to understand complex compositions and reinterpret them through your own individual voice.
Starting with simple structural studies, before introducing more expressive colour, you will fill a sketchbook with fresh, in-depth ideas: a versatile toolkit to transform your own creative practice.
