Tuition in Life Drawing is invaluable for the number of areas it covers through studying the human figure: proportion, perspective, line, tone, colour, form, as well as ways of using different media.

The aim will be to cover:

1. Basic anatomical forms & alignments.

2. Proportion – ways of measuring/checking.

3. Ways of using line & mark to build form.

4. Studying tone, light and shade to create form.

5. Light & colour, shape & form (dry materials).

6. Line & colour, shape & form (mixed media).

Each session will begin with rapid free drawings of short poses using a variety of media and methods. You will need to bring a range of drawing materials e.g. charcoal, pencils, conte, rubber (a putty rubber also), white chalk or pastel. A basic supply of paper and charcoal will be provided, and easels, but do bring your own easel if you prefer. For the following sessions in addition you will need: Session 5 – Soft pastels; Session 6 – your choice of a mix from the following: acrylic/gouache/oil paint, papers for collage, pritstick/pva glue, pastels, ink and markers.

Tutor Veronica West has taught Life Drawing for over 30 years at the University of Derby, and Staffordshire.
