Tutored Life Drawing - Foreshortening

Come along to a relaxed, drop in, tutored pose life drawing session for all abilities. There is a different topic each week covering a different aspect of life drawing.

This week’s topic is: Foreshortening: covering different approaches and techniques for drawing troublesome foreshortened poses

The session includes a short taught segment at the beginning lasting around 20 mins, followed by a series of exercises where we draw from an unclothed model. The session is taught by tutor Lancelot Richardson. There will be a short break for hot drinks and biscuits in the middle of the session.

These sessions can be attended flexibly; you can attend all sessions like a course, or pick and choose topics. If you have any questions just email Lance on [email protected].
