Life drawing is an important skill for any artist and there are multiple ways to approach it which is what we are seeking to explore and encourage with these new classes. Tuition will be included for any beginners and anyone looking to refresh themselves with the basics. If you are a more experienced artist who would like to work independently you are more than welcome as well.
Will include short 5 to 10 minute poses to improve gestural work. Gesture can be the factor in a drawing that can give the illusion of movement and life and is an essential skill to any artist.
Moderately timed poses 10 to 20 minutes. Longer poses allows us to expand on basic gestural work and add shading and some light detail. Still being relatively short poses, they encourage the artist to be bold and decisive with decision making.
Longer poses for 30-60 minutes. These poses will allow artists to make more considered pictures, giving more time for measuring and shading. The poses would also incorporate some foreshortening too.
Long poses two 60-minute poses or one two-hour pose. This will be for artists wanting to create a more detailed artwork or to do a series of studies. From a fully body piece to an above shoulder portrait, artists can take their time.
Weekly, Wednesday evenings 7.30 to 9.30. Fee £65 for 5 consecutive weeks, on going through the year. Venue: Lydiate L31 4HL
