Life Drawing
Join us for a focused and rigorous drawing course exploring the human figure through the study of anatomy. Working from principles practised by the great Renaissance masters, including Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael, the course introduces the structural foundations of the body — from bone to muscle to surface form.
Open to both beginners and more experienced artists, sessions respect individual student needs.
During each session you will concentrate on proportion, composition, and the articulation of mass through light and shadow. Through clear demonstrations and sustained drawing, you will complete a resolved study in the first session while establishing a framework for continued anatomical understanding and confident figure drawing.
