Weekend Life Class 2
May 18,19 ,20 (2024)
Weekend Life Class 2. This is the 2nd of the year. It’s an opportunity to work from the model for 3 days. Saturday morning is an exploratory drawing session using poses that range from 2 minutes to 30 minutes. In the afternoon there will be longer poses. Sunday and Monday is set up for those who want to focus on painting. There will be two different poses lasting in total 5 hours each. . This is split between two morning sessions and two afternoons . 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.
LEVELS
The course is suitable for intermediates and advanced. Some experience with life drawing and painting is therefore useful .

Materials: Without being over prescriptive this is an opportunity to work on a larger scale.If you do not have your own paints there is a communal supply of oil paints which can be used at a small fee of £6 per day per person. Then there are large sheets of paper, ready primed canvases and paper and sets of brushes for sale. When booking it is best to confer with us about materials and what to bring.
Fees:
Fees have increased from last year by an average of 8% to help cover inflation. Last year we did not increase the fees from the year before.
Lunches
Our lunches are outsourced to an award winning chef called Gavin Kellett who provides us with very wholesome and delicious vegetarian soups which are different on all days. Then there is locally baked bread, baked potatoes, plus salads and fruit. If you have dietary requirements please let us know.The table is laid out pleasantly in our spacious dinning room. Lunch provides a very welcomed break. It is a friendly and relaxing time away from the working studio.
Refreshments: Coffee, teas and biscuits are freely available throughout the day.
