Join us for this special Life Drawing series running over 4 weeks exploring this foundational art practice through the eyes and approaches of four prominent local artists; Yvette Ten-Bohmer, Pablo Tapia, Peter Lankas and Jane Lander.
Life Drawing teaches you hand-eye coordination, hones your observational skills and does wonders for relaxation. This course offers an opportunity to explore life drawing from four different professional perspectives to help you loosen up your creative process and discover new things.
Each week a different artist will take you through techniques and approaches to capturing the human form inspired by a professional unclothed life model and using a variety of drawing media.
This is a guided life drawing course suitable for all skill levels. Just bring an open mind and willingness to experiment.
This is a 4 week course held on Monday evenings, 6.30 and 8.30pm from 4th March until 25th March. The sessions are guided by a different teacher each week. You will be working with a professional Life Model, likely unclothed.
What to bring: Sketch pad/paper A3 or larger
We supply: Graphite pencils/charcoal
