Service Description
09:30am to 12:30pm Thursday 21 May - Contour Drawing Thursday 18 June -Proportion & Negative Space Thursday 16 July - Light, Shadow & Tonal Value Experience a traditional art school drawing class in a small group, with individual practical tuition in an art history context. Develop confidence in drawing from a live model, with a structured drawing process from line, through proportion, to tonal value. Across the three classes, you will learn three essential observational drawing skills: finding the edges of the figure, recognising negative spaces and the relationships between shapes, and understanding how the interplay of light and shadow creates form. You will learn drawing techniques in graphite and charcoal, and how to measure, compare angles, and plot key points around the figure for greater accuracy. This is a small class limited to eight places, suitable for beginners and improvers who want to learn foundational observational skills. Book one class individually or attend all three as a progressive foundation in life drawing. By the end of the course, you will have a practical step-by-step method for approaching drawing with more confidence, accuracy, and clarity. Please bring: A sketching easel, an A3/A2 drawing board, paper, and clips or an A3/A2 sketchbook if you prefer to sit and work on your lap; Graphite pencils, graphite sticks, willow charcoal, compressed charcoal, craft knife, putty rubber, erasers, and cloths.
