An Introduction to Sketching Objects
Date: Thursday 19th February 2026
Time: 18:00 – 20:00
Join us for a beginner-friendly workshop focused on learning how to draw objects convincingly and expressively from observation. During this two-hour session, you’ll build skills in constructing well-proportioned drawings, capturing form, and using shadows and highlights with simple pencil techniques.
This session is ideal if you want to start sketching museum objects, everyday items, or build a sketchbook practice for visits to galleries, collections, and exhibitions. All you need is curiosity — basic materials will be provided.
