Join us at the Draw studio for two days of exploring how to draw animals - with artist, teacher and author Lancelot Richardson.
About this Event

Join us for a weekend of learning to draw animals with tutor Lancelot Richardson, where you will learn about the fundamental principles of drawing a wide range of animals from photographic reference material and imagination. This comprehensive workshop is suitable for all levels of ability, from complete beginners who would like to start drawing animals to more experienced artists who need help with a particular subject.  

This workshop is suitable for beginners to drawing as well as anyone else looking to get started with drawing animals specifically.  All attendees will also receive a signed copy of Lance and Jake Spicer’s new book ‘You Will be Able to Draw Animals by the End of This Book’ as part of the course, RRP £17.99.  

  

What to Expect 

Day 1: We will be looking at how to draw the forms of different animal body layouts, looking at broad principles for building up structure. As the day progresses, there will be a simple introduction to tetrapod anatomy, looking at the overall body plan shared by mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. 

Day 2: We will spend the morning on location at the Booth Museum drawing from their skeleton specimens and taxidermy under Lance’s support & instruction. After returning to the Draw studio for lunch, we will work on more developed studies and more individually tailored problem-solving.  

  

What to Bring 

All required materials will be provided for this workshop. However, it is recommended you bring a sketchbook for making notes and studies in if you prefer, and a plastic folder for taking away drawings. If you would like to draw from a particular subject we’d encourage you to bring photographic reference of the animals you’d like to draw. Easels, chairs, drawing boards and small tables are all provided. 

 

Getting to the studio 

Approach New England House from the New England Street side of the building and walk up to the locked blue double doors next to the sign for the ‘Building Manager’s Office’. Wait to be let in or call the number on the door for entry - the studio is on level 5, Unit 1 South, just knock and walk in. There is parking at London Road car park, Elder Place & Trafalgar St car parks; Brighton station is a 5 minute walk from the studio
