For enquires contact [email protected] Come to Trestle Theatre for three hours of figurative studies with advice on hand to help you unwind and relax into the creative process. Life drawing is one of the most valuable practices an artist can utilise, helping you develop three-dimensional drawing practices as well as sharpening hand to eye co-ordination. You can also use the session to experiment with different media such as paint or pastel, it is your time, in an environment to create as you wish. I often hear people saying they can't draw, however drawing isn't a talent you're born with It's a skill you develop. Much like playing a musical instrument, to hone and develop your skill set regular practice is vital. Sessions are comprised of quick studies to warm up, one to two-minute poses, concentrating on a strong sense of gestural action. As we continue the poses will increase in length. Finishing with a forty-five to sixty-minute pose that will be a relaxed recumbent form, here you'll most likely have to deal with more hidden anatomy and foreshortened volumes that can be tricky. Please arrive 15 minutes before the 2.30 or 7 pm start times. So we can be ready to start on time. Drawing boards, pencils, charcoal and paper are supplied but please do feel free to bring any and all equipment you wish to use
