Online and face-to-face drawing classes

I teach both online (using Zoom) and face-to-face (in my atelier in the Hague, NL).

Right now I only offer classes for returning participants or new participants who already have some drawing experience.

THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU IF:

• You love nature and you’d love to draw plants, birds or other beautiful nature objects every week
• You used to draw a lot and you now need a little help to take it up again

• You want to refresh or further refine the fundamentals of realistic drawing

• You want to master different techniques and try out different materials
• You want to develop your unique style of drawing

• You want to connect with like-minded creatives

The course assignments help you becoming technically better and at the same time stimulate your creativity. This makes it easier for you to form your own drawing signature.

I’m working hard on a self-paced online course so that every beginner has the chance to start learning anytime.

This course will provide you with the fundamentals of drawing. Once you have completed the evergreen course you will be able to join the monthly classes for returning participants.

Please read on if you want to find out more.

THIS COURSE WILL BE FOR YOU IF:

• You love flowers, birds, shells, feathers and all the beautiful objects you find in nature, and would love to be able to draw them
• You want to learn the fundamentals of realistic drawing

• You look forward to trying out different drawing materials (pencil, different types of pens, ink)

COURSE PROGRAMME

PART I: you learn the fundamentals of drawing and you work mainly with pencil.

You learn a useful way to look at objects in order to draw them accordingly to what you see.  Besides, you learn how to draw volume, and thus make your drawing look three dimensional, using different techniques. You work mainly with pencil.

PART II: you focus on more advanced techniques and you use different pens (ballpoint, fineliner) and ink in addition to pencil.

We continue practicing different ways of sketching and rendering volume, but we will do it with new materials such as balpoint pen, fineliner and ink. In addition to new materials you try out new techniques and you experience which one suits you.

The live demonstrations will show you exactly how to complete an assignment, and you can choose for additional online feedback in a small group once you have completed the course. This way you can complete your drawing to your satisfaction.
