What you’ll learn in the intermediate drawing class:
In Intermediate Drawing, we move beyond learning how to draw and focus on how to make drawings that feel resolved, expressive, and intentional. You’ll strengthen your technical skills while learning how to make creative decisions that suit your subject and personal style.
By the end of the term, you’ll feel more fluent in your drawing practice and ready to move toward advanced drawing or painting, with a clearer sense of your own visual language.
Here’s what students have said about Artory’s Drawing classes:
FAQ’S about the adults Intermediate drawing class:
-
Drawing classes are 2 hours long and are held on Thursdays 6:30-8:30pm at Kakes and Biscuits, Casuarina (behind Lolita’s Cantina). Our terms are loosely based on the NSW school term.
-
There are two payment options: Pay for the term up-front to receive a discount ($55 per class) OR pay each week casually for $65 per class (this option is only available when there's spare spots in class).
-
You’ll be taught by professional artists.
-
Students BYO materials to class. Please view the drawing material list.
-
This class is designed for students who have completed our Beginner Drawing course (or have equivalent experience) and are ready to build on their foundations with greater confidence and control.
-
Absolutely! You can never stop learning about drawing. Each term we focus on similar principles but with different artwork references. So you’ll never be drawing the same artwork twice. For example, for our class focused on “blending” we may teach pencil blending techniques one term and then charcoal techniques the next. For our module on “texture” we may focus on human hair one term, but fur, bark or glass the next terms. There’s a never-ending supply of things to learn when it comes to drawing!
-
If you can’t attend your class, don’t worry. You won’t miss out! Class notes will be emailed to you with photos of each of the steps and detailed instructions, so you can create your artwork at home.
-
Your health and safety is of utmost importance. We follow all NSW government advice and guidelines.
By attending our classes you agree to abide by the current local government mandates and regulations, including mask-wearing, hand sanitising, vaccination status, checking-in using the covid-safe QR code and physical distancing. You agree to not attend classes if you show any signs of sickness.
-
If classes cannot run in-person due to government restrictions or lockdowns, classes will be run online via zoom. The zoom class may be scheduled for a different day and time than your usual class time that week, to accommodate our teachers working from home. Recordings will be kept for 7 days for those that cannot make the new class time.
