Event details
Each Draw and Discover session is different so come to one or come to all of them.
Join international artist Marco Luccio as he shares his experience of how to draw for practice and for pleasure. Everyone from beginners to advanced are welcome to join these fun and stimulating drawing sessions set amongst the inspiring collection of the National Gallery Of Victoria.
During the sessions you will create a series of drawings that will give you a better understanding of the artwork, while building confidence in your ability to see, sketch and learn new ways of drawing. Luccio will guide you through a number of exercises with friendly and engaging instruction. In addition to drawing from the collection, you will discover techniques to improve your drawing skills, learn what to record in your sketchbook, and gain an understanding of what makes a sketchbook work well.
For beginners and advanced.
Each one of the drawing from the collection class will be different, you won’t be drawing the same thing twice no matter how many classes you attend. You can do any of the classes without having attended any previous sessions.
