Drawing from life can enhance the skills you may need to get the most out of your course and enhance your experience of life. Each session explores the underlying structure of the figure, shape, movement, light and shade and the ideas expressed in each pose.
Everyone can learn the fundamentals of laying down the gesture and playing with mark making through the strategies presented throughout the course by distilling gesture into lines of action and simple shapes, creating strong silhouettes, effectively using space, extrapolating ideas from a pose rather than just anatomy, and possibly finding stories in your gesture drawing. All drawing materials are provided, though you are welcome to bring your favourite pencils, pens, markers or pigments to work with. A great follow on is Drawing Fictional Characters from Life.
