Develop observational skills through the use of a life model. This is an intensive study of the human form. All abilities welcome. Beginners are guided through 6 week drawing course.
You will draw from male and female models who are booked for 3 sessions at a time. You'll have the opportunity to work on both on short studies and a sustained pose over the 3 sessions. If you are a beginner, you'll be introduced to drawing the figure in charcoal, pencil/ graphite and line and wash and can choose to progress onto painting in acrylic, watercolour or oil. If you are a returning student, or come with experience, you can pursue personal projects working in your chosen media.
