Join this four week pencil sketching course in Melbourne for beginners!
Whether you’re drawn to portraits, figures, landscapes, animals, or florals—or perhaps all of them—every artistic journey begins with a sketch. The key to success is the ability to truly see your subject and translate that vision onto paper or canvas. Sketching is the essential building block for any artist, making it the most important skill to develop as a beginner.
What you will learn:
  • How to construct shapes, measure proportions, and draw structured figures.
  • The fundamental concepts of figure drawing, including form, gesture, and anatomy.
  • Elements and principles of art, along with shading techniques to create depth.
  • Methods for eye-measuring, shading, and rendering three-dimensional space.
  • How to plan and develop ideas into sketches.
  • Preparation for advanced studies such as Portrait Drawing (Level 2) and Animal Sketching.
This course is designed for beginners, with no prior drawing experience required. You’ll enjoy the intimate setting of small group sessions.
Course details:
  • 90-minute guided sessions covering theory and practice each week.
  • Students can visit the studio twice during the course (3rd and 4th week) for independent practice (45 minutes per session) to work on their final artwork. - flexible time for you to arrange.

Hi, I'm Annabeth, and welcome to An's Art Studio—where creativity meets peace of mind. The name "An" comes from the Vietnamese phrase “an yên, ” which means peace of mind, and that’s exactly what I hope to bring to every workshop.
My cozy, home-based studio in the Chadstone/Ashwood area is the perfect space for you to slow down, focus, and express yourself through art. With intimate class sizes (just 6 people per session), I make sure everyone gets the guidance and freedom to bring their own ideas to life.
Whether you're a complete beginner or already dabbling in art, my classes are designed to help you embrace your unique creative voice. We go beyond the usual paint-and-sip—it's about meaningful art-making, visualizing your stories, and finding joy in the process.
NEW: Starting this year, I’ll also be hosting a monthly Sunday workshop at Docklands, bringing art vibes to the city with fun, themed classes open to all levels.
Let’s create something that brings you peace and excitement—together!
