Introduction to Drawing

This course is designed to boost your drawing skills while helping you build a unique body of work. Each session hones in on a different technique, from line and tone to perspective and mark-making. You’ll explore a variety of methods, working with both traditional materials and more unconventional mediums, all while being encouraged to experiment and discover your personal style.

Perfect for beginners or anyone looking to gain confidence in drawing, this course covers everything from life drawing and portraits to more abstract approaches. We provide basic materials to get you started and will guide you on any additional supplies you may need as your skills and projects grow.

Lexi completed her MA in painting at the Royal College of Art in 2014 and her degree in Fine Art at Hereford College of Arts in 2011. 

Primarily a painter, she also creates theatrical installations that animate her work, and is a trained art clown performer, regularly creating performances that span the art, theatre and comedy world’s. 

Current work includes a series of portraits of her diverse clown community, and she was recently funded by the Arts Council, England to explore the relationship between humour and trauma. 

She frequently exhibits and performs nationally and internationally, including the John Moore’s painting prize and the Jerwood Drawing prize. Lexi was also nominated for Saatchi New Sensations (2014) and Shortlisted for New Contemporaries (2013). Her paintings are on permanent display at the Women’s Art Collection at Cambridge University.
