Join Melbourne artist Hamid Abbasi for an engaging and beginner-friendly introduction to drawing. Designed for those new to drawing or looking to strengthen their foundational skills, this one-day workshop will help you develop confidence, improve observation, and learn practical techniques for translating what you see onto paper.
Hamid will guide you through the essential principles of drawing, including line, shape, proportion, tone, and form. You'll learn how to break down complex subjects into simple, manageable steps while receiving individual guidance and feedback throughout the day.
Included in your workshop:
  • All drawing materials.
  • A range of drawing papers and surfaces.
  • Easels, tables, and studio equipment.
  • A clean, professional studio environment.
  • Access to a kitchenette with complimentary tea and coffee.
Whether you're picking up a pencil for the first time or returning to drawing after a break, this workshop offers a welcoming and supportive environment to develop your skills.
By the end of the day, you'll have completed a series of drawing studies, gained a new understanding of fundamental drawing techniques, and built confidence to continue your creative journey.
What you'll get
  • All materials that you will need for the class - no need to bring anything!
  • You will go home with a series of drawings based on observational copies of images or still life setups.
