Our Life Drawing and Painting summer schools are a brilliant chance to really immerse yourself in working from the model. Starting with drawing, we work through exercises and processes which hone your observational skills to build your confidence in a range of mediums- approaching mark making and gesture as well as the more technical side of drawing, moving into tone and colour using pastels.
We will build a painting using acrylics to plan out your composition, then move into painting in oils.
Each section of the process will feature in depth demonstrations – backed up with lots of one to one tuition.
This really is the perfect life drawing and painting experience- great for beginners and an excellent refresher for those with more experience.Groups are small, so you can work with the tutor to take the sessions to your level- with lots of great practical demonstrations and plenty of one to one tuition and feedback you really can take this to your own level
