Come along to a relaxed, drop in, tutored pose life drawing session for all abilities. There is a different topic each week covering a different aspect of life drawing.
This week’s topic is: Getting Started: Shape and Tone - Learn how to start a figure drawing by blocking in tonal shapes
The session includes a short taught segment at the beginning lasting around 20 mins, followed by a series of exercises where we draw from an unclothed model. The session is taught by tutor Lancelot Richardson. There will be a short break for hot drinks and biscuits in the middle of the session. Toilets are available in the building.
These sessions can be attended flexibly; you can attend all sessions like a course, or pick and choose topics. If you have any questions just email Lance on lancelotrichardson@gmail.com.
