Costumed Life Drawing: 1920s

The 1920s represented an era of change and growth. The decade was one of learning and exploration! It was also a time of flappers, prohibition and the Jazz age! Come and join for this 1920s inspired costumed life drawing. 

As part of our aim to make arts and culture more accessible we have taken the decision to reduce the adult ticket price to £6 for the next June & July Saturday morning life drawing sessions. We hope in a time of inflation this will let more people take part and have the chance to create. 

Make sure to bring your choice of drawing materials- anything from pen and paper, to oils, inks or even an ipad. 

This is an untutored session, suitable for all ages and levels and is a great way to spend your Saturday between 11:00-13:00. Poses will be between 1-10 mins.

What is Life Drawing?

Life drawing or figure drawing is the drawing with pencil, ink, charcoal, paint or whatever you choose of a figure from life. Most often associated with drawing the human form nude.

What is Costumed Life Drawing?

The biggest difference with costumed life drawing is that the model has clothes on, you will be able to see how mail clings to the body of how a sword held. In our case we are also expanding this to not only clothes our model but also bring a character to life.

Why do it?

There are many reasons to do life drawing, one of the most common reasons is the suggestion that it will make you a better artist.  True, practice can help you improve and develop skills and these sessions offer you a specific time to focus on creating art. Do not however be put off if you have never tried life drawing before, this can be your introduction. Maybe you are the next Da Vinci just waiting for the right moment.
