A Morning of Life Drawing with Ben Crappsley

Coming Soon

About this Summer Special

This course offers a fresh and expressive approach to life drawing. Working with a nude figure model, you'll explore dynamic mark-making using charcoal, chalks and graphite on paper, while building confidence in tone, line control, and composition. You'll learn to see the figure through shape, movement, and spatial relationships, helping you develop a more personal and creative drawing style. Ideal for those wanting to deepen their life drawing practice and explore new techniques in a supportive environment.

Please wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little dirty!

Materials including cartridge paper, charcoal and graphite blocks, plus basic drawing supplies are included in the cost. Any additional materials can be brought along as desired!
