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.
