Drawing Classes in Dubai
Learn to draw in Dubai — the foundation of every art form — at our studio in Al Safa 1, Jumeirah, near Safa Park. Pencil, charcoal and ink, all ages, all levels.
Drawing at ISOAG, Al Safa
Drawing is the foundation of every art form — and a deeply satisfying skill in its own right. With pencil, charcoal and ink, you will learn to see and to render what you see, building the eye and the hand that underpin all painting and design.
Classes are led by our founder team — including UAE Cultural Golden Visa artist Ruxeena Musthafa — and shaped by art psychotherapist Najah Musthafa, so you learn real technique in a calm, supportive studio in Al Safa 1, Jumeirah. This page sits under our adult art classes hub; the same medium is also part of our kids classes.
What you'll learn
- Line, contour and gesture
- Shading, tone and value
- Proportion and measuring
- One- and two-point perspective
- Observational and still-life drawing
- Charcoal, graphite and ink
Who it's for
From absolute beginners to artists strengthening their fundamentals, drawing classes suit everyone. Many Dubai studios cap their classes at 16+, but at ISOAG drawing is open to all ages — adults, teens and children — at every level from complete beginner to advanced.
Why learn drawing?
Drawing sharpens how you see — and that benefits every creative pursuit, from painting to design. It needs nothing more than paper and pencil, builds focus and patience, and gives fast, visible progress that keeps you motivated. Strong drawing is the quiet foundation behind all confident art.
