"The limitation of time and experimental nature of life drawing has enabled me to create more expressive work than I would achieve independently. By far the most enjoyable two hours of my week. "

"It is not so much the drawing aspect of life drawing that I enjoy but the atmosphere and concept. Life Drawing has a formality which at first I hated but have come to love. Each class has a quiet intensity where everyone is concentrating on that one thing in the middle of the room- the human form."

"The focussed concentration required for life drawing takes me to a different place where only the model and drawing skills are relevant. Nothing else matters, the outside world forgotten for a time."

"Throughout the weeks life drawing has helped me build my confidence in using different techniques and styles, I feel I have progressed in these classes. "

"No one can teach you to look at what you’re seeing but life drawing can help you to see what you’re looking a. Painting is a challenge for me, but life paining/drawing seems like a challenge worth doing. I find I am getting better week by week with practice."

 

"This was the first time I had ever done life drawing and so was really dreading the first session, but loved it! It really taught me how to look at the human form in a different way and I think its really improved m drawing skills. I love drawing in black and white, but I’m finding colour rather challenging. Its been a good experience. "

"Life drawing is a challenge every week, but the challenge has helped me to improve my drawing technique a lot. I have explored many medias and techniques and have learned to be more free."

"Being encouraged to experiment with different materials and lighting taught me to consider the way I draw the human form in a lot more depth. I think my drawing and painting has been a lot more expressive in these sessions as a result of limited time allowed. "
