Life Drawing & Painting Weekend 

June 21 – 23. 2025

This  is the second  life class of the new year. It is another opportunity to work from the model for 3 days.

 

The routine will be much the same as the February course .Saturday is more of exploratory drawing session using  various approaches and materials in response to a number of different  poses  ranging  from 2 minutes to an hour.  Sunday and Monday is set up for those who want  to focus  on painting where a pose can last from 2 to 7 hours. Drawing is encouraged as much as painting, so the long sessions will suit painters as well as those who prefer  prolonged drawing sessions.Tasks will be set, but instruction is mostly on a one-to-one basis and tailored to individual needs and experiences. Quite lot of the group have been regular attenders, therefore it’s a matter of helping  everyones  work to a further stage.

Levels:

The course is suitable for intermediates and advanced. Some experience with life drawing and painting is therefore useful.There will be a couple of spaces reserved for beginners

Materials:

It is advised you bring your own materials to draw and paint. We have  stock which is really a standby.There is no shortage of large  drawing sheets, primed paper canvases.  There is also a small stock of brushes for sale, but it is best to bring  your own.

When booking please confer with us about materials and what to bring if you are not sure. There is no need to spend a small fortune on materials. Less is more.
