Barrington Barber draws on his artistic expertise and long experience of teaching to create a structured, user-friendly drawing course to guide the aspiring draughtsman through the whole process of learning to draw. The class starts with a lesson on basic exercises in line, shape, and texture, and then progresses through lessons on the following topics: form and tone, close observation, the outside world, the human figure, materials and techniques, perspective and foreshortening, the animal world, creating composition, still life, portraits, and landscape.
