What you will learn

In this course, we work with classical drawing with and without a model.

We have a very craft based approach to drawing, where anatomy and form are fundamental. We will be working a lot with drawing live models, both fast drawings where we practice dynamic, movement, and flow as well as more in-depth model studies with the opportunity for immersion. Apart from that there will be a number of drawing exercises without the use of a live model, which can include both sketching and longer studies.

The course is open for everyone who enjoys drawing and would like to improve their classical drawing skills. The teacher offers individual feedback based on each person’s level of skills so both beginners and highly skilled artists are welcome.

Time schedule

Saturday and Sunday both days 9-16 with one hour lunch break.
