Life Drawing and Painting Weekend
.Saturday is the more exploratory day with drawing 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 painting where a pose can last from 2 to 5 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 before, therefore it’s a matter of helping everyones work to go a stage further
