Drawing is a means of communicating your ideas and sharing your observations. Whether you are a professional artist or a beginner, life drawing is like exercise for your eyes, and everyone can benefit from it.

A wonderful opportunity to really slow down, get stuck in, and evolve, or revisit, one drawing (or painting) over two days, or to have a go at several. Each day begins with some quick loosening up exercises, then we go straight into the pose, which you can tackle in whatever way you please, with the option to experiment with the many materials available.

Drawing materials are provided and paper is sold at cost, but feel free to bring paints, or a canvas if you’d like. You can book for one or both days. We will break for tea and biscuits throughout the day and for lunch. Please bring lunch, or alternatively Savages Farm Shop and Cafe is just across the road.

Materials

So you are free to experiment I provide basic materials for you to help yourself to. Including charcoal, conté, pastels, ink, wash, white paint, pencils, rubbers, brushes and so on. There are boards, easels and donkeys for you to use. As well as masking tape, clips, jam jars and dishes (which make great paint pallets). Newsprint and cartridge papers can be purchased at cost (just pop some coins in the tin).
