Monday evenings starting 7th October, from 5:00pm - 7:00pm.

£170 for 10 week course.

*For University of Liverpool Staff and Students the course is £120 with proof of University ID (There are a limit of 5 tickets available at this special price)

Suitable for both newcomers / beginners and for those continuing from previous courses, as the tutor will tailor the material to individual participants.

Programme:

The course is aimed at adults of any age, both beginners and the more advanced, who want to directly work from a human model or still life.

There will be a human model for most of the sessions, performing very short, short, and long poses giving the students a chance to practice drawing at various speeds. We also will make use of still life and/or sculpture as well as printed pictures to practice on specific skills.

The main method that is taught and practiced in the course is the traditional “stick measurement” and “sight-size drawing method”. However, the following topics will be covered throughout the course:

- The sight-size method versus the comparative method of drawing

- Using alignments, angles, relative proportions, and cross points in figure drawing

- Postural drawing and quick drawing

- Human body proportions

- Shades and values

- Foreshortening

- Using a grid

- Using a proportional divider

Tutor: Frank Leung

He worked in a private art school for a decade in Hong Kong, where he learnt a lot of his knowledge and skills in painting from his colleagues and through his teaching.
