Life Drawing Masterclass

Feel a sense of personal discovery as you challenge your
Practise in this one-day masterclass for those with 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.
