In a supportive and friendly atmosphere, participants are encouraged to search for rhythm and structure from a variety of the models set poses. The life models are all professional and the nude figure will be the main subject , apart from the occasional costumed model.
A combination of short - timed poses and those of a longer duration are aimed at developing observational skills. The expressive use of drawing materials is also encouraged.
As well as one - to - one tuition , work made in each session is displayed for the purpose of critical feedback and discussion.
