Life Drawing: a 5-week course in Granton

This course is open to anyone aged 16 and above who wishes to explore drawing the human figure from life. Through a structured yet relaxed format, participants will build a stronger understanding of anatomy, movement, and composition while developing sensitivity to line, tone, and rhythm.

The emphasis is on careful observation and sustained looking, helping you translate what you see into confident and expressive drawings.

Each session combines short guided exercises with longer poses, allowing you to progressively develop both accuracy and fluency.

You will work from a range of poses, from quick gestural studies to more sustained drawings designed to strengthen your understanding of structure and movement.

Individual feedback is offered throughout, supporting both technical development and personal exploration.

By the end of the course, you will:

• Develop a stronger understanding of proportion, anatomy, and movement
• Improve your ability to capture gesture and dynamic poses
• Build confidence drawing directly from a live model
• Explore a range of materials and techniques
• Produce a body of drawings suitable for display in a group exhibition
