Life Drawing at Exhibit Balham
About this Event
Drawing from over 15 years of experience as a practising artist & educator, working with institutions such as The Wallace Collection, Mall Galleries, Village Underground & Sothebys, Dan Whiteson has cultivated a truly unique approach to teaching. With a dynamic, informal style and a focus on experimentation and creative freedom, this fully tutored class is suitable for anyone from beginners to those looking to shake up more established practises.
Learn to embrace risk, to feel the benefit of stepping outside of your comfort zone and to make work inspired by observation but ultimately shaped by your own artistic impulses... All with drink in hand! With all levels of experience and backgrounds joining each week, this is a great way to unwind with friends or meet like-minded people.
All materials are included so all you need to bring is yourself and an open mind. Check the agenda for an overview of the evening, and see you in class soon!
