This standalone class will allow you to further your journey in mastering the art of drawing from life, and equip you with the tools to gain confidence in your artistic abilities.

After a brief intro, we will be welcoming a live model as our subject for the evening, and working through various length poses over 2 hours. As this is a mixed class, you may choose whether you’d like to receive direction and tutoring from me, or simply let your creativity flow independently.

I will be introducing a few techniques to try during the session, and each tutored participant will also individually receive personalised advice to match their learning level throughout. This will explore the human form, how to create the illusion of depth, movement, texture, volume and perspective using dry mediums such as charcoal, pastel and graphite. You will be taught how to maintain accurate proportions and create balanced compositions on your page.

The techniques I am teaching are very accessible to beginners and easy to pick up, with a bit of practice.

Class numbers are limited to 10 participants, which allows for 1-1 tuition for all attendees throughout the afternoon, so every student works at their own pace/skill level and has unique outcomes.

Please bring your own A3 sketchbooks.

Drawing materials will be provided to those with tutored tickets.

All tickets include a free glass of bubbly and refreshments!

Venue:  Mantis Art Studio and Gallery, Dean House, Bepton Road, GU29 9LD
