Alex Beckinsale graduated with Honours from the Adelaide Central School of Art in 2016 and is now an experienced and very popular tutor there. Her main skills are in figurative drawing and her teaching will be very valuable for beginners and the more experienced alike.

Course Description
In this course participants will work both from live models and instructional demonstrations to gain a greater understanding in how to capture a sense of life and form in drawings of the human figure. Alex will guide you through exercises that develop fundamental skills in proportion, form and tone, as you work towards a series of completed sketches from the model.
