Drawing People - Life Drawing Sessions

1 hr 30 mins
(6)

Join us for our clothed, fun, figure drawing sessions. Run by Spike Print Studio, these friendly and relaxed evenings are suitable for all levels - for beginners through to those with more experience.

Although the sessions are not taught, guidance and support will be provided by our very experienced tutors who will set the poses and may suggest a theme or a particular way of working. A variety of clothed models will be used to explore short and longer poses as well as movement, props, costume and lighting.

Seating provided but you will need to bring your own materials. As a start we suggest a hardback sketchbook and some pencils!
