About this Event

During these 5 weekly evening classes you will explore the art of drawing the human figure from a live nude model. Whether you're an absolute beginner or a more confident improver, this is a great opportunity to practise your skills and meet like-minded people.

Liz is an experienced figurative artist and drawing tutor, who'll guide you through a variety of simple techniques and exercises to help kick-start your Life Drawing journey, as well as help improve your overall drawing skills.

Each class will include a combination of quick, dynamic poses, demonstrations from Liz, and the opportunity to practise what you've learnt with longer poses. You will also be encouraged to share and discuss your work in supportive group reflections.
