Long Pose Figure Study
Thursdays 1/2 or full day
An extended draped figure study which permanently repeats with different models and poses. Casual attendance is available by prior arrangement.
Take your time to develop your skills by working on a multi-session fixed, just as students and artists have done in Ateliers for hundreds of years. Occasionally a full size skeleton will be setup in a similar position as the model to assist in the anatomical study of the figure.
The first session of each pose will be primarily around setting up the pose, and then the pose will remain fixed for all sessions of the pose which may be from one to 10 weeks.
This workshop suits people with at least some prior figure drawing/painting experience.
Cost per session depends on the numbers at each session, limited numbers and bookings required prior to attendance.
For more information please contact Phil.
