The Drawing Circus comes to Towersey, 28th, 29th July 2018! http://www.phoenixstudio.co.uk/courses/d...

The Circus is coming to Towersey and it’s going to be the life drawing event of the year!
The Phoenix Studio is extremely proud to welcome to the Drawing Circus to Towersey! They are a troupe of Brighton-based artists, models, art tutors, musicians and performers who put on the most wonderfully spectacular and innovative drawing classes!

I’ve been to one of their events before and thought it was a fantastic experience; one that I was desperate to have happen at the studio. The Circus does not just put on life drawing classes, they put on celebrations of life, art and creativity! They’re really not to be missed!

So, for one weekend in July they will be coming to Towersey and performing for our artists.

-With at least 8 fabulous life models for you to capture on paper on canvas
-Posing in and around one stunning art studio and a summer meadow
-Morning, afternoon or full day bookings available
-A family-friendly session on Sunday morning
-There will be musicians to get you in the mood
-And there will be a communal BYO picnic you can be a part of between the two sessions
-The event is open to all artistic abilities. Jake Spicer, the group’s ‘Ring Master’ is an experienced tutor and will be giving a 20 minute crash course in life drawing at the start of each session. This will arm any beginners with a good foundation of knowledge for them to confidently go off and put pencil (or charcoal) to paper.

Towards the end of each session there will be also be a short masterclass focusing on a particular aspect of drawing. It could be on heads, hands & feet or figure proportions – Jake will make a decision in response to seeing how people get on during the session and what may help the majority progress.

Beyond the optional tuition sessions, artists will be free to wander around the studio and its grounds, drawing the models and poses that inspire them. There’s something for everyone – a range of:

-short poses
-long poses
-nude poses
-fabulous circus-themed clothed poses
-solo poses
-and group poses
