SATURDAY AND SUNDAY DROP-IN LIFE CLASS
The “Open Life Class” is a relaxed and enjoyable life drawing and painting course with a life model for various poses lasting between one and four weeks at a time. Students will be able to approach the human figure in any way they please and make as many drawings or paintings as they care to pursue with as much or as little instruction as they like.
Your experienced tutor will happily guide both beginners as well as those who are more experienced. The class runs on both Saturday and now Sunday mornings too. Students should feel free to use whichever materials they enjoy using the most, whether that is drawing in charcoal or ink or painting in oils or acrylics. Paper is provided though please bring your own drawing/painting materials with you.
Open Life drop-in sessions for the new term starting in July 2019 are now available to book via Eventbrite.
Please note that bookings made through Eventbrite are non-refundable. Additionally, providing there is space on the day it will still be possible to pay by card (Visa, Mastercard) in the reception shortly before the lesson; we do however recommend booking through Eventbrite in order to guarantee a place.
