Course Description

Description

This course runs over 5 consecutive days. This course will give you the opportunity to work directly from a sustained life-model pose for the duration of the week. You will also explore the nature of sustained observation and concepts connected to it. 

The course will begin with an initial introductory slide talk and then working collaboratively together with the model through a creative process exploring varying possibilities of poses, compositions and colour environments while making initial drawings.  

Alongside demonstrations for the group, one to one tuition will be offered on the experience of a sustained visual exchange: perceptual shifts taking place between the artist & subject, colour mixing, tone & temperature, form and the role of structure in terms of proportion and spatial relationships. The final session of the week will be devoted to feedback and support for continuing after the course finishes.
