Drawn Together - Life Drawing Class
A workshop with Robert Jackson
Have you ever noticed how everything starts with a drawing…
Come to the Geeveston Art Show (Upstairs Gallery at the Geeveston Town Hall) for a workshop in the art of life drawing, with art teacher Robert Jackson.
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!
Places are limited so please book early to secure your place.
We will provide some paper and drawing materials, but please feel free to bring your own medium(s) of choice.
