Life Drawing with Katie Thornton
6 Week Class | 21st July to 25th August, | Tuesdays 7pm-9pm
Whare Toi | 16 Kerr Street, Devonport
Try your hand at life drawing!
Although challenging, drawing directly from the human form is incredibly rewarding. It is a foundational skill that can inform any creative endeavour or artistic practice.
Students will be drawing directly from the model observing their weight, form, line and presence.
A variety of approaches will be taught in the class including working gesturally using willow charcoal and also working in finer detail with pencil, pen and ink.
This is a class that is aimed to encourage and strengthen your drawing practice. No matter what your ability is – anyone interested in drawing is welcome.
The life drawing classes will occur over 6 weeks, every Tuesday from 21st July to 25th August, from 7-9pm.
Students are asked to bring the following items:
- Pencils – B, 2B, 4B, 6B, HB
- Willow charcoal
- Erasers
- Pencil sharpener
- Sketchbook
- Paper
Tickets are $240 and limited to 10 spots.
