Life into the Figure

Service Description

Working from the life model in the studio this 6 week block will enable you to develop your drawing skills and your own unique language of marks through experimentation with different techniques and drawing media. The class provides a structured and supportive environment comprising of drawing exercises designed to inspire authentic and creative responses to the human form. Each session will concentrate on a different approach to drawing and over the six sessions we will cover: line, tone, gesture, shape and form. We will use a range of drawing materials and you will gain confidence in working with wet and dry materials from charcoals and graphite to ink and brushes. Each class will begin with a short slide talk looking at the work of artists relevant to what we will be doing in that session. ​ The sessions are fully instructed and suitable all abilities. All are welcome to join whether you are a complete novice or a seasoned drawer.
