Using inspiration from great artists, from Botticelli to Picasso, this workshop will explore the different ways the body has been painted.

Life drawing requires a sustained and in-depth contemplation of the human form, in all its complexity and beauty. You will be guided through the art of figure drawing as a process to approach any complex task, starting by breaking down elements into simple blocks and then building on them with layers of detail.

The workshop aims to facilitate artistic flow and provide a relaxing environment to get creative on canvas. No previous artistic experience is necessary and art materials will be provided. Please bring an old t-shirt to protect clothes and get ready to develop your inner artist.
