An intensive workshop designed for total beginners to the life drawing genre.
Participants will be shown fool proof, tried and tested methods of rendering the life model using a variety of drawing media. By the end of the day you will have the knowledge, confidence and ability to render the human form in a three dimensional and convincing manner.
Following a brief group discussion on the subject of why life drawing is considered so difficult, you will begin drawing with a variety of short poses. Next you’ll look at techniques such as gestural drawing, pivots, the picture plane, negative spaces, shape, shadow mapping, linkage and subtractive drawing…amongst others. By the end of the day you’ll know what all of these are!
Participants will discover that it’s not as difficult as they had thought to render the human form in a convincing manner.The group will work towards a more finished piece of work from a longer, more sustained pose after lunch.
Tutor Scott Bridgwood is a working artist with over 30 years experience after graduating from Chelsea School of Art in 1992. He worked and taught art in Rome (Italy) for 10 years before moving to Leicester. It was during his time in Rome that he developed his passion for drawing/painting the human form, which continues to the present day. Scott has taught at the Attenborough Arts Centre for nearly 20 years. He also teaches Life Drawing at De Montfort University and from his home studio in Leicester.
