Drawing Programme

Develop your drawing skills in a focused, inspiring studio environment at The Art School, Chester. Our Tuesday evening drawing sessions are designed for adults who want to build confidence, improve technique, and explore the foundations of strong observational drawing.

Each session begins with a short tutor-led demonstration, covering key drawing principles such as line, proportion, tone, shading, perspective, and composition. You’ll then apply these skills through guided exercises and your own drawings, with individual support from a qualified art teacher throughout.

​

This is a structured yet flexible programme — ideal for those who want to see real progress over time while still enjoying the creative process.

You can view our current theme blocks below, with each block focusing on a different aspect of drawing, from foundations through to more advanced studies. You’re welcome to join at any point, whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills.
