Classic Drawing Fundamentals is a realistic drawing course specially designed for beginners, but also for those who already have some experience and want to improve their
technique.
In this course, we study reality through the use of photographs (for those who are starting for the very first time), but also —and above all— through the use of real objects (simple still lifes), in order to learn how to draw in the classical way, just as it is taught in fine art schools.
The course is held in English.

Who is it for?

For beginners, but also for those who already have some experience.

Objectives/Mål

To observe reality and interpret it on paper using pencils and compressed charcoal, learning to represent reality through realistic drawing by visualizing the basic forms of objects, establishing their relationship and scale on paper, and depicting light and shadow to understand their depth and volume.

Content/Innehåll

In this course, we will work mainly with objects and still lifes in order to better understand the fundamentals of drawing. (Other topics that the student wishes to study individually may be proposed, as recommended by the instructor based on the student’s drawing abilities).
We will make use of simple techniques, such as pencil and compressed charcoal, in order to establish the foundations of drawing (sketching, proportion, and the representation of light and shadow) without the complication of color or other, more complex drawing techniques such as watercolor, for example.

The course leader

My name is Adrian, and I studied Fine Arts at the Universities of Granada and Valencia (UGR/UPV, 2020), two of the most prestigious in Spain. I was born in Málaga, the city of Picasso, but then I moved to Sweden in 2022. Currently I’m living in Varberg where I’ve been working and teaching at Studieförbundet Vuxenskolan in Varberg for 2 year with very good feedbacks.
My classes are in English, as my Swedish is not yet very fluent. The advantage of teaching in English is that my classes are open to people from many different countries and cultures, which greatly enriches the learning experience.
Durying my stay in Spain I have been teaching drawing as a freelancer for three years, working with teenagers and participating in various painting and photography projects
throughout my career.
All of this has given me the tools to offer these courses at SV, which are increasingly attracting people interested in learning classic drawing all over the world and different cities of Sweden.
