Adult Drawing Fundamentals

Adult Drawing Fundamentals: The Basics

Discover your ability to draw with confidence.
Learn a clear, step-by-step system that makes drawing accessible.
Build real skills in realism, abstraction, and shading from day one.

Discover your natural ability to draw—you just need the right guidance.

In this Drawing Fundamentals course for adults, you’ll be introduced to Aliki’s proven 7-step system designed to build confidence quickly and effectively. From your very first class, you’ll begin to understand how artists see and construct images, breaking complex subjects down into simple, manageable steps.

You’ll explore both realistic drawing techniques and the expressive potential of abstraction, learning how line, shape, and value work together to create compelling artwork. Working primarily in pencil and ink, with a subtle introduction to colour, you’ll progress from simple observational exercises to fully developed, shaded compositions.

Each session builds progressively, ensuring no prior experience is needed. By the end of the course, you’ll not only have completed a series of finished drawings, but also gained practical “take-home” skills that allow you to continue drawing independently with confidence and enjoyment.
