| Life Drawing Workshop @ The Stani Studios Posted: 24 Jun 2012 11:13 AM PDT  A workshop by Hannah Thomas for artists of any level. Small and intimate allowing plenty of one to one tuition and guidance……but it will also suit someone who prefers to explore their own ideas and vision. The day will begin with a brief discussion about materials and equipment followed by a series of short warm-up poses allowing you to familiarise yourself with the shape and form of the model. As the day progresses the poses will get longer allowing you to capture more detail. The afternoon will be spent working on just one pose and giving more time to think about composition and choice of materials. Throughout the day guidance and help will be on hand and at the end of the session an open critique will be encouraged to allow you to see each others work and discuss it. The life drawing workshop is all about spontaneous responses to the model and the pose, the lighting and the space, and the overall ambiance of the environment. It is never about capturing a perfect representation but about seeing and translating and making marks…….and of course, to have some fun with creativity! The workshop will ; Duration : 10 – 4 pm Cost : £ 85 per person inc light lunch | |||||||
