About the Class
Discover and refine your life drawing skills with artist and teacher Leigh D Walker in a relaxed and encouraging environment.
Firmly believing that drawing is the basis for all artistic practice, Leigh is a passionate advocate of teaching solid foundational and creative skills.
Each week we will work from the model to develop personal technique and understanding of how to draw the nude while looking at how the human form has been depicted in art. The classes are relaxed and fun as well as instructive with plenty of room for individual artistic expression.
We will explore a variety of drawing techniques, skills and materials in this 8-week course to introduce students to different ways of seeing, thinking and drawing.
There will be plenty of one-on-one tuition and all levels of experience are welcome.
