Dates for 2021 TBA
Three intensive days of drawing from the model, providing an excellent grounding in life drawing for beginners or an opportunity to consolidate and move forward for experienced drawers. Drawing is a skill that can be learned, not a mysterious ability bestowed at random. We will use a lot of exercises and games that are proven to increase the eye-hand connection and your way of perceiving your chosen object of drawing. There will be a variety of lengths of poses ranging from short and dynamic to longer poses allowing students to expand into painting in a variety of media.
You can attend one, two or three days.
A wide range of materials included, plus paper at a small charge.

Life Drawing - for all levels
Classes will start again in May in our COVID safe studio with limited numbers. This class is suitable for all abilities and provides a friendly environment which supports and encourages absolute beginners, creatively challenges those who want to improve their drawing and gives a framework for artists who want to further their creative practice. Individual attention is given to assess each student's needs and provide them with the appropriate level of instruction. Tuition also includes some information on anatomy. Bath Artists' Studios is equipped with a full size replica of a human skeleton. Over the term there is a variety of models and different lengths of poses ranging from 5 minutes or less to an hour or hour and a half. Sometimes poses may be returned to over two or more weeks. You can join the class at any time during the term and pay pro-rata for the rest of the term. SATURDAY WORKSHOPS Life Drawing and Painting Most Saturday workshops include an opportunity to paint the figure in more depth. I encourage the use of a wide range of media, singly and together in experimental approaches. I can provide some materials, (except for canvas or board), but please do feel free to bring your own.
