This two day workshop on painting the portrait in oils, acrylic or gouache focuses on understanding the behaviour of colour and light.

Come along to a relaxed long pose life drawing session for all abilities in our purpose-built studio.
This session is for all abilities and will involve the model taking a single, unclothed pose over the entire day. This is a good chance to practise working on a more involved, longer drawing or painting. Painters are welcome - the studio has radial easels and tables to work at.
If you are new to life drawing, a tutor will be on hand to offer advice and guidance.
It is a good idea to bring paper or a canvas, though our studio shop is well stocked if you need materials. There are some basic drawing materials at the studio.
Anyone subscribed to Draw's Patreon is eligible for a £8 discount, with pledges starting at £3/month, plus VAT.

Starting from the 8th September 2022 I will be teaching weekly lessons on lifedrawing at Draw Brighton. These are drop in sessions - you can book via Eventbrite or pay by card on the day.
Each session consists of a taught proportion covering the topic of the week, followed by a series of set exercises that revolve around drawing from the life model. I will be on hand to take questions and offer guidance throughout the lesson.
These sessions follow the tutored lifedrawing course that I created for Draw's online programme, so there is ample supplemental material.

I can also provide bespoke lessons via Zoom, either as a private 1-2-1 or for a larger group. Currently I am able to share both camera and screen feeds.
