About this course
Our eight week Life Drawing course provides the perfect opportunity to draw the human body in its natural state. Each session is self-contained, focusing on either portraiture, the whole body or part of the body. You will draw a different model every week - different body shapes, males and females. All materials will be provided by the tutor.
