[The usual sessions run with a model alternating poses for 1,5 hours.
The model will work on creative poses of various durations, including moving poses, dance poses, character poses, expressive, short and long poses.
Each session is different, and negotiated with the participants. If you need tuition, ask a member of 4bid on the day to give you advice and tips! And if you have feedback, be welcome to talk to any of the volunteers hosting!]

This year after several requests, 4bid starts a new series of life drawing weekend intensives! This four-lesson weekend course covers all you need to know (or need a nudge to remember to put into practice) when it comes to model drawing. Over the 4 sessions (Friday to Monday, each 3h) you'll delve much deeper into the subject matter than in our regular 1,5h weekly appointments.

Under the tutor's guidance, you will cover composition, anatomy, and shading. In each lesson, you'll work with the same live model, to master the understanding of their shapes. You will be invited to immediately develop and own a personal style, focusing on chiaro-scuro and line work, and applying bold gesture onto the paper. On the last evening you'll further one drawing, finishing it by applying all the learned tools.

To get the most out of this course, it can be helpful to have taken part to a drop-in session at 4bid gallery on either Tuesdays or Sundays (see the regular meetups). It is however not required to have prior experience.

The suggested price is €180 pp | 4 lessons of 3 hours | 8 participants max | Includes materials, coffee, tea, and snacks.
If you have difficulties meeting this cost please let us know via email, and we can arrange something you are comfortable with: 4bidgallery@gmail.com.

You can pay with a regular transfer to:
> > 4bid Stichting NL71TRIO0320257452. Please send us a mail message with a screenshot of the transfer.

Classes are on Friday from 18:00 to 21:00, Saturday and Sunday from 16:00 to 19:00 and Monday from 18:00 to 21:00.

We ask participants to commit to all 4 sessions.

Dates are October 17, 18, 19, and 20, 2025.

Location: 4bid gallery, Overtoom 301, 1054HW AMSTERDAM
