Expressive Life Drawing 10 week Courses
Our 10 week course offers you the chance to develop a personal response to the human figure whilst working with a range of different materials and techniques.
The aim is to help you enjoy and feel energised by your drawings whilst working alongside other students, creating friendships, and finding inspiration in each other’s work. Each week we will dip into the world of figurative art finding artists who can inspire, inform and enrich our own practice.
Students will be encouraged you to take some risks with your drawings, working on developing your observational skills but also experiencing more abstract and intuitive ways of working.
We will work normally with the unclothed model in the studio but also take the opportunity to work in the local landscape, drawing the clothed figure. We wish to encourage you to develop narratives in the drawings, using the landscape, real and imagined, alongside music and the spoken word.
Suitable for people new to Life Drawing. We actively encourage beginners.
Fully tutored with all materials and refreshments provided.
Tutor: John Gamble
