Life Drawing: Painting the figure

Drawing from the figure is a classic, traditional skill - these tutored life drawing classes are ideal for those wanting to learn and improve, to build a portfolio or for beginners who would like to just have a go.

There are no entry requirements.

You will be individually guided through a series of easy to follow exercises which will allow you to gain confidence and understanding of painting the human form in oil.

Discussion between tutor and the students as a group and on a 121 basis will take place each week, to help you improve your skills.
