Barrington Barber looks at the key areas - still life, figures, landscape and portraits - and demonstrates the specific skills needed for each type of subject matter. His easy-to-follow approach makes him an ideal tutor for beginners as well as those who can already draw competently.

Artists will learn how to:

• Capture dynamic figure poses
• Frame a landscape to best effect
• Create a portrait step by step
