Costumed Life Drawing: Venice Carnival

For another year return to the streets and canals of Venice as we embrace carnival season! 

The Venice Carnival is thought to have begun in 1162 growing over the years, been banned and finally returning in 1967 and has grown ever since! 

Taking place in February each year it is a chance to party and brings colour to the streets of Venice. 

The iconic costumes and masks worn are based on clothes from the 16th-17th Century and that is where we will be taking our costumed inspiration from for this session

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

13 +, anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. The accompanying adult also needs a ticket

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 you can also draw clothed or our case costumed models. 

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 material or armour clings to the body or how a sword held. For our classes we like to expand beyond the costume our model wear but bring a character to life for you to draw. 

Why do it?

There are many reasons to do life drawing. One of the most common reasons is that it will make you a better artist. By practicing your art, you can develop your skills, style and confidence. These relaxed classes will let you really focus in on the form in front of you and allow you to work on what interests you most.
