Scottish Myths and Legends
For centuries, the stories of Scotland have inspired creatives of all types and this course will delve into how folklore has been depicted in art. We will explore a different legend each week through drawing and mixed media, incorporating different techniques, as well as developing line, tone, colour and composition. As we will be drawing figures, basic proportion and anatomy will form part of this course, as well as how to draw faces and expressions. All levels are welcome in this informal and friendly class.
