Figurative Drawing - 12 week course

About

This course is open to those with some drawing experience or those who may have figurative drawing experience. Weekly studies of the life model give students an opportunity to deepen their understanding of drawing the figure through regular, varied exercises. Participants will work from easels with a life model present for all sessions.

Through looking at different aspects of the body: hands, feet, head and the whole body, you’ll develop a range of techniques to improve your skills of objective observation and your understanding of the human form. Participants will work from a range of life models both clothed and unclothed. There will be a balance of long and short poses, enabling exploration of quick drawing techniques and slower studies focusing on careful observation looking at measured proportions and creating form or 3D-ness through tone.
