Drawing is at the heart of our courses at Hampshire Art studio. We FIRMLY believe everyone can draw. It is our job to help you find the confidence and the skills to draw as you want to draw.

There are numerous definitions of drawing, some more helpful than others. Drawing offers a space to think and explore ideas. It can be 2D or 3D. It can be the creation of an individual, or a collaboration. It can be in colour. It can be a line, a word, a smudge. It can be technical and expressive. It can be ‘how to…’ or ‘why’, just for the hell of it, or as an end in itself.
