Course Description:

This term, our focus will be on drawing. We will work towards cultivating an understanding of line and spot (tone). Through the practice of premier coup (one-shot drawings), we will work from “junk-pile” still-life setups—haphazard constructions designed to disrupt ingrained habits of seeing. Transcription will also be a primary focus this term, with students taking a deep, serious dive into the marvels of art history, working after the masters. We transcribe rather than simply copy to emphasise reinvention and to strengthen our capacity to extract the essential qualities of these great works—qualities that have always been a vital source of knowledge for any serious painter.

Although this is a weekly course, consistent independent practice is essential. The collective nature of the group, combined with the NLG WhatsApp mentorship, provides an ideal environment for committed exploration. This course is open to all levels but is especially suited to those seeking serious engagement with pictorial language—something achievable only through dedicated practice.

Cost: £300. Drop in fee £35 (subject to availability)
