Course introduction

This course is perfect if you would like to develop your skills on a day long programme in Life Drawing.

This class is targeted at students who may not have previous experience of life drawing an would like to learn new skills and techniques in observational drawing.

If you have done a life drawing class with us before then you are able to join this class to refresh your skills in a friendly and supportive environment.

Throughout the day you will learn a variety of techniques and processes in life drawing, working with a range of materials to develop your skills and drawing the naked human form from life.

Working from the human form, you will focus on proportion and composition, applying both technical and expressive approaches.

You will work with a range of dry drawing media, pencil, pen, charcoal, chalks and pastels developing techniques of line, tone and limited colour palettes.

You will create a range of different pieces of work which you can take home with you, either on the day or at an arranged later date.
