Introduction to Figure Drawing Workshop Sunday 12th May 2024, 10am-1pm

£45.00

Pica Studios, 7a Grape Lane, York, YO1 7HU

An exciting taster workshop where artist Lesley Shaw will be giving lots of demonstrations and offering helpful tips to make drawing both easier and fun. Lesley has over 30 years experience as a figurative artist, and has taught both children and adults. Working with different mediums, you will be encouraged to work loosely and perhaps on a larger scale than you might usually choose.

There will be a live clothed model and you will draw the figure as a whole. There will be some fun warm-up drawing exercises. Short and longer poses. You will learn how to look at the contours of the body in terms of a line and also as a series of basic shapes. With Lesley’s guidance you will look at proportions and consider the value of negative space, and Lesley will demonstrate how to tackle traditionally tricky areas such as hands and feet. Positioning the figure on the page, you will discover how composition, different mediums and colour can all influence the mood of a drawing.

Perfect for both beginners and improvers. So if you always liked drawing at school but were never encouraged or have lost your confidence, if you simply don’t know where to start, then this would be a great introduction. Or perhaps you have some drawing experience, but struggle with certain areas or want to return to drawing to dust off or improve your skills, then this is the workshop for you! Just bring yourself. All materials and refreshments provided.
