Over the course of the term, you’ll work through a combination of experimental and traditional exercises. In some of the sessions, you will work from Still Life, learn to manipulate materials including pencil, charcoal, and ink as well as less conventional materials such as bleach and sand. The exercises will help enhance your observation skills and encourage a willingness to take risks and thus develop your drawing. Others will involve Life Drawing and you’ll get the opportunity to do a range of exercises and poses of varying length, working towards finished pieces from long poses. The aim of the course is that you should gain improved confidence in your drawing skills and produce work with which to either kick-start or boost your portfolio. Suitable for beginners.  Classes run on Monday or Tuesday evenings during term-time, and on Sundays once a month for those who prefer one full day of life drawing.  Also check the weekend and 5-day course dates.
