Life Drawing

Life Drawing is considered a fundamental practice for all artists. The focus on the study of human form can be instrumental in supporting individual expression and perception, as well as encouraging critical analysis and hand/eye coordination. It’s also quite a lot of fun!

Through a selection of different models, situations, in movement and repose, you will:

Develop your technique and observation skills.

Build confidence in your drawing skills whilst developing free imaginative responses.

Explore your own language, marks and approach.

This intensive 7-week course is suitable for all levels, from absolute beginners to experienced artists, with targeted exercises and advice to each individual student whilst maintaining a productive and supportive group experience. The tutor will encourage experimentation alongside careful observation, with advice tailored to nurture each student’s individual visual language.

Materials provided
A selection of basic drawing materials and paper will be available for all participants, but you are very welcome to bring in your own to experiment with or get advice on.

What to wear
Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes.

Who can attend
This course is open to complete beginners as well as those with experience. Participants must be over 18 years old.
