Introduction to Life Drawing Weekend Workshop

​Time: 10am-4pm
Price: £195 (£165 concessions + Patreon supporters)
Location: Draw Brighton

This weekend workshop introduces the basics of life drawing through a series of guided exercises. This workshop is designed for beginners who want to start drawing from an unclothed model or as a refresher for anyone who wants to tune up their drawing skills.
​
Day 1 – We’ll start with some introductory warm up exercises with lots of gesture drawing to learn how to capture dynamic poses. Later in the day we will look at tying in a little more visual accuracy with contour drawing exercises.
Day 2 – This day builds on the previous ideas of gesture and contour by looking at how you can use shape more effectively in your drawings. We’ll expand on this in the afternoon with a more in-depth look at different ways to apply the ideas of the weekend to different drawing processes.

Introduction to Drawing from Imagination
​
Date: Saturday 21st October
​Time: 10am-5pm
Price: £80 (£65 concessions + Patreon supporters)
Location: Draw Brighton
​
Suitable for all levels of experience, this workshop will introduce you to the basics of imaginative drawing. You will learn about the fundamental skills required to make figure drawings and compositions from your imagination, developing drawings from raw ideas to a finished sketch and practice skills that will carry over a range of art styles and subjects.
The day will be divided into three stages:
• Gesture: Planning work with quick drawings and thumbnails
• Structure: Using informal perspective cues, and a little basic structural perspective to develop drawings
• Refinement: Adding detail to drawings and looking at how we convey visual information from reference material
There will be lots of opportunities to draw with exercises that help us practise the ideas in this workshop.
