This course is perfect for anyone who wants to take their drawing and painting skills to the next level. With a strong focus on landscapes, sketching, and composition, you’ll gain the tools to see the world differently and translate it onto the page with confidence. Whether your passion lies in fine art, web design, or graphic design, mastering drawing and perspective is the foundation of all creative work.

You’ll learn how to accurately form shapes, capture architectural elements within landscapes, and arrange colour and composition for maximum impact. These skills aren’t just for traditional art, they’re the backbone of modern design, making this course a key step in developing as an artist or designer.

What You’ll Learn:

Perspective – Go beyond the basics with one-, two-, and three-point perspective, plus subtle techniques like atmospheric perspective to create a true sense of depth.
Projections & Drawing Systems – Understand systems like isometric projection and
learn how to apply them to enhance your creative practice.
Composition – Unlock what makes a composition powerful, and practice positioning
elements to guide the viewer’s eye and strengthen visual impact.
Design Fundamentals – Build a strong foundation in the seven elements and principles of design—line, form, balance, proportion, and more—essential knowledge for any visual creator.
