Designed for the absolute beginner, or the experienced artist going back to basics, this is an intensive drawing course which leads to stunning results in a single week. I have developed a series of exercises to find a way around the blocks people have when they first start to draw. I enjoy helping people develop a new skill, and seeing their satisfaction when they discover that, yes, they can draw for toffee. Having taught weekly classes for many years, I find that format frustrating. Often we’re starting from scratch each week. Our Drawing for Beginners course allows you to build on your skills as you learn them, achieving more than the equivalent hours of the weekly class.

By the end of the week you will be amazed at the progress you make. You may not be a Rafaello (a local boy) – that will take practice – but you’ll be able to express a visual idea and be well on your way.

The mornings are dominated by careful exercises in looking and mapping out a drawing. We tackle the portrayal of form, volume, perspective, tone, etc. as we progress through the week.
In the afternoons, possibly with the help of a glass of wine at lunch, we do swift, expressive exercises designed to bring out the inner artist, build confidence and find your personal style. By the end of the week you will be amazed at the progress you make. You may not be a Rafaello (a local boy) – that will take practice – but you’ll be able to express a visual idea and be well on your way.

Its fun to go about and about abit. On at least two days we will make excursions to Tolentino, Rocca d’Ajello or Rocca Varano (all within 15 minute’s drive). We’ll still be drawing, but also exploring the area.
… Wish I had done this course before I did the others, I wouldn’t have need to search further afield. So much learned, memories made, gorgeous food and excellent wine.
Fabulous week. Great location, great weather, delicious food and great tuition. I’ve learnt so much in such a short time and my progress has been so much more than I had hoped for. Caroline you’re amazing!
Thank you for such a smashing week. I particularly loved the enthusiasm… Beautiful place, great company, fab instruction and out of this world food. I will particularly miss foraging for mint (nuts, figs, fennel,). Now one thing – you managed the fire brigade and ambulance but no cute police in uniforms. Room for improvement. Thank you
Thank you so much for a lovely relaxing time, learning drawing and pastels, going to surrounding towns and eating the most fabulous food. Beautiful Italian weather and classic landscapes with every colour under the sun, even for those with a touch of colour blindness.
Beautiful one day – perfect the next!! One day I might get the lines going in the correct direction. Learnt so much.
… The Garden and views are perfectly inspiring. Home from home with 5***** quality flair = fabulous. Caroline, I’ve learnt loads… I can now see with new eyes… yeahh. Perspective and drawing straight lines – phew. Stay exactly as you are.
