Janet LEITH, charcoal, ink and gesso on paper
Tutor: Janet Leith
Saturday 29 April, Saturday 6 and 13 May 1PM–3PM
Designed to provide ongoing skills development and/or maintenance for regular life drawers, this three-week series is an opportunity to gain regular practice in lifedrawing, guided by a professional artist. The sessions will provide participants with the opportunity to explore their own approaches and practice, while being introduced to different techniques and mediums such as gesso, pastels, and layering.
Participants will be given the opportunity to warm up, get comfortable with materials and explore various ways of drawing the figure. You are encouraged to attend all three sessions and use this program as a space to practice, hone and develop your life drawing skills.
