Sam Horler, drawing instructor and director from The Drawing Studio, Dublin, will hold a intensive 3 day drawing courses - Bargue's Cours de Dessin.

This courses introduce students to representational drawing methods through the study of the Drawing Course (Cours de Dessin) of Charles Bargue and Jean-Léon Gérôme.

The step-by-step process was created for and used by art colleges throughout Europe, teaching the fundamentals of drawing in an accurate, clear and efficient manner and helped train artists such as Vincent Van Gogh and Pablo Picasso. It is the culmination of over 400 years of drawing education.

“The careful study, the constant and repeated drawing of Bargue’s Cours de Dessin has given me more insight into figure drawing. I’ve learned to measure and to see and to attempt the broad outlines...so that what used to seem to me to be desperately impossible is now gradually becoming possible.”
Vincent Van Gogh, September 1881.
