( full / waiting list )

Next available life class February 8th -11th

This Life Class  starts with a full day of drawing from short poses to longer ones. Experimentation with  different materials will be encouraged  ranging from dry methods  to wet using materials such as charcoal, soluble graphite and ink . Sunday and Monday will consist of longer poses to accommodate those painting. The mornings of Sunday and Monday  will have the same pose and the afternoons  a different one. Therefore the  duration of these longer poses  could be from 5 to 7  hours.

Drawing is encouraged as much as painting so the long sessions suit both and allow time for some substantial and intense work.  Tasks will be set but instruction is mostly on a one-to-one basis and tailored to individual needs and experiences. Some of those attending will have been before, therefore it’s a matter of developing everyones’ work to a further stage.

Life Class levels

Our Weekend Life Classes  are suitable for intermediates and advanced. Some experience with working from the figure is therefore helpful. Two places are reserved for beginners.
