Tutored Life Drawing | Bronwyn Searle

The practice of drawing the figure is fundamental for most artists, regardless of what other subjects they usually choose to paint or draw.

We provide a spacious air-conditioned/ heated room and a life model who will pose in a variety of short and long poses.

What will I learn?

As your tutor, Bronwyn will guide you through each class, always starting with quick warm-up free sketches, then moving on to longer poses. Using charcoal or pastels, each class will focus on different aspects of body form, movement, and lighting.

Who is this course suitable for?

These life classes are suitable for absolute beginners as well as those who have been to some sessions before.

So if you are interested in coming along to these classes, be prepared for some enjoyable drawing time with a professional life model, music, and a guiding hand in Bronwyn Searle.

What do I need to bring?

• Newsprint
• Cartridge Paper
• Charcoal Pencils
• Compressed Charcoal
• Pastels - optional (you may already have these, preferably some flesh-tone colours)

We will give you access to easels and tables depending on space, so you have some flexibility. Limited art supplies are available for purchase at the studio if you need a top-up or are just starting out.
