About this course

Life drawing isn't just about learning to draw the figure. It's about learning to really look.

Block one is a three week block on Tuesday evenings in The Witham Room at The Witham ,Barnard Castle. Running from Tuesday 22nd September-Tuesday 6th October 6.30-8.30pm

These regular classes will afford opportunity to study the human form, consider proportion and composition. Each class will vary but all will begin with some dynamic, quick poses to loosen up our drawing, then keeping that energy in our drawings focus on some deeper studies with two or three longer poses.

This is a 2 hour class , we will pause for a quick cuppa at half time and discuss our drawings.

Working from A3 drawing boards, you will be encouraged to try drawing from a standing position. Chairs are available for those that require them.

Materials to bring : A3 size cartridge paper + A3 size newsprint , a box of medium sized charcoal sticks

A3 Drawing boards and board clips supplied

Is car parking available at the Studios?

Car parking is easy at Mole Studios , the studio door is a few yards from the car park .

Please note that the landscaping is not finished and that there is a step up from ground level into the studio.

Who are the classes for?

The studio is a space for anyone: beginners who want to loosen up or more experienced artists who wish to bring greater energy and immediacy to their work. My classes are designed to gently reconnect with the joy of making art without pressure or judgment.

Here, art isn’t about being ‘good’ it’s about expression, confidence and finding your own unique way of seeing the world.
