Have you ever noticed how everything starts with a drawing…

Come and enjoy a couple of hours of drawing our wonderful model from life, in a tutored class.

Robert will talk about materials and techniques, including references to perspective and anatomy for the artist with a focus on heads and hands.

There will be a live model so you can practice your newly acquired skills. Please note, this may not be suitable for children, given the artist will be sans-clothing! (Children's class is here)

We will provide some paper and drawing materials, but please feel free to bring your own medium(s) of choice and an easel if you have one!

While tickets are free, there are limited places so please book carefully.

The Geeveston Art Show's Artist Development Programme is proudly sponsored by Bendigo's Community Bank Huon Valley and is run to provide local artists and aspiring artists the chance to explore their passion. We encourage you to head to Community Bank Huonville's Socials and give them a like, for funding this programme! Please note that locals (Huon Valley) will be given priority for tickets.
