An intensive all-day Life Class focusing on the possibilities drawing inspires in relation to the model. It will be experientially-led with the aim of understanding the role of drawing as a means of not only expression, but as a primary approach of understanding a creative process.

Led by tutor, Roger Perkins, the day will consist of short and sustained experimental drawings of two models in OVADA’s main warehouse space. Using various media the intention is to focus on the possibilities drawing offers the experienced and less experienced student. It is hoped that the class will refresh your approach to drawing the model. It will suit all those undertaking Life Drawing for the first time and those wishing to take a fresh uninhibited approach to their personal practice.

The only requirement for the course is that you are willing to risk making spectacular failures!

OVADA provides materials, boards, easels, but paper is costed at 25p per sheet used. You are welcome to bring your own drawing materials as well of course.

Hot drinks will be available all day. There will be a lunch break between 1-2pm. Please bring a packed lunch or alternatively there are a number of shops/cafes nearby.
