About this event
Life Drawing in Bristol: Tutored
Alongside our weekly untutored class in Stokes Croft, `I am also running a series of tutored evening classes and weekend workshops to experiement with drawing, and refine your skills.
This class will begin with a few warm up exercises designed to help develop your seeing skills and improve your confidence, as well as tips for scale and proportion. We will then move to building a figure in stages, with emphasis on gesture and expression, rather than measuring and maths. Beth will be on hand to provide one-on-one advice and tips.
Every level of artist is welcome, from complete beginners onwards. This class is intended to be a gentle dip in to tutoring, to improve your figure drawing skills and connect with your creative self.
