Course Description
This one-day sketching course focuses on drawing interior spaces using perspective techniques. The fundamentals of one and two-point perspective will be covered through a series of drawing exercises. You will learn how to illustrate interiors from different viewpoints and populate these spaces with furniture, accessories and architectural details. The course aims to help you understand perspective drawing and apply techniques to create drawings that have depth and the appropriate proportion. Both drawing from the imagination and using photographic references is incorporated into the learning process. Sketching will take place in the studio. Working with pencil and drawing pens, you will also be encouraged to find and develop your own unique style. The course is suitable for anyone interested in sketching interiors, from complete beginners to students seeking to develop their drawing skills further, and interior designers wanting to illustrate and express ideas. By the end of the day, you will have produced a series of interior sketches using both one and two-point perspective drawing techniques. You will have improved your ability to draw in three-dimensions and, with the confidence gained, be able to apply this to your future drawings.
