A dynamic tutored life painting course which is suitable for advanced and beginner painters. Advice will be given on how to measure accurately, prepare surfaces, work with mixed media and capture light and shadow on the human form.
This Life Painting course will lead you towards developing your observational drawing and painting skills, when working with a live model.
Georgia will guide you towards measuring the model accurately and convincingly embedding the figure in space (the MAC studio). Capturing light and shadow, skin tone and background tones will be crucial.
Georgia will direct the model to arrange themselves in exciting poses and we will work in response to both quick dynamic poses and longer static poses.
Mixed media painting materials will be provided and experimentation with various tools and types of paint will be encouraged. Working simultaneously on a range of paper/ card types and rapidly in sketchbooks, will help you expand your repertoire of techniques and processes.
The first 30 minutes of the session will allow time for you to set up, get materials ready and prepare a range of surfaces (perhaps with gesso, if using oil paint for example).
We will then work with a modal for roughly 2 hours (with a break for a cup of tea and a biscuit!) and spend the last 30 mins developing and finalising other areas of our paintings.
For a mix of beginner and advanced painters.
