Independent Life Drawing

About

Independent Life Drawing

Independent Life Drawing is just that – we provide the studio, the model and the easel so you can book dates when it suits you to practice your life drawing in a supportive environment.

There is no formal tutor, but with support and ideas from other group members you will pick up new skills and techniques, through quick sketches and longer poses. These sessions are perfect for beginners, intermediates and those looking to get more drawing in their lives.

Summer term dates:
Wednesday 1 May 2024, 6-8pm
Wednesday 29 May 2024, 6-8pm

Sessions will then resume in the autumn term after the summer break.

Jeremy Webster, Deputy Director of Attenborough Arts Centre, usually attends the sessions to set the poses. He has practised art for over 30 years and his passion for drawing and painting is contagious.

Please note only newsprint is provided - you must bring all your own drawing materials, papers etc.

If you are looking for a tutored life drawing class, why not try our NEW Weekly Life Drawingpay-as-you-go classes on Friday evenings, 6.30-8.30pm? Experienced artist and tutor Scott Bridgwood will lead each class, with live model and all materials provided.

Participants must be aged 18+.
