Life Drawing Masterclass

Feel a sense of personal discovery as you challenge your practise
In this one-day masterclass for those with some experience of life drawing.

You will explore a wide range of styles and techniques to draw and
Paint the human figure and be encouraged to create something new and unique.

You will begin by experimenting with a
Variety of drawing techniques, using different media, and looking for ways to
take your studies on to the next level. You will be asked to consider what you
Hope to achieve in your artwork, and to talk about your artistic influences.

Leading up to lunch you’ll push the
Boundaries of your drawing methods.

After a short break for lunch, we will look at and
Discuss a large collection of contemporary and traditional figurative art
Works, brought in by the tutor, and
Consider why they are (or aren't) successful pieces of work.

The tutor will also demonstrate
Palettes for flesh tones, and discuss composition and the importance of having
A goal in mind as you paint.

The group will then work on a two-and-a-half-hour
Pose/painting to end the workshop, followed by a short group appraisal.

The
Emphasis here is to go beyond ‘mere' accuracy and to move on to producing art
And self-expression and the development of a personal style.
