Enjoy one day poses to paint and draw from the nude model. Use the day to experiment and deepen your study of the figure. Hone your skills and understanding of tone, colour, paint handling and develop your ideas in relation to the human figure. This is a boot camp for the eyes and with the uninterrupted hours of looking, you see more nuanced colour through light playing on skin. Life painting is helpful to ones understanding of the figure which is why we are providing a full day in studio for personal study into what some consider a neglected part of artistic practice that’s both hard and enjoyable. Here is a concentrated and immersive day of Life Painting and Drawing.
Course Level: All are welcome.
There will be no formal tuition; the pose will be set up each day by the studio assistant who will on hand to help with practical issues.
