COURSE/WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

ABOUT THE COURSE: Over the course of five weeks, you'll learn about line, gesture and form. Starting with a simple gesture, we can gradually develop it into a detailed sketch of a human being, showcasing our artistic skills and creativity. It is crucial to emphasize the importance of line quality. The subsequent stage will involve concentrating on identifying and analyzing the fundamental "anatomical landmarks" present in the human body. Optional homework assignments are available for those who are serious about making progress in the course. At the end of each class, students will receive printed materials covering the content of each lesson. WHO IS THIS COURSE SUITABLE FOR? Adults 18+ The course is suitable for students who are looking to improve their drawing skills from life, this program offers an opportunity to refine and enhance their progress. Gesture drawing is a great way to learn about human anatomy, and short poses are the perfect place to start. We progress by rendering forms with longer poses. This course will include a nude model and is for adults 18+. It serves as a natural progression, where participants can apply and further develop the knowledge acquired earlier. MATERIALS/EQUIPMENT YOU NEED TO BRING: Participants will need the following art materials: Vine charcoal Kneaded erasers Regular erasers Optional: Pen erasure Smooth paper with minimal texture (thick enough to resist erasing) Blending tools Sharpening tools graphite pencils: 2h, 2b, 8b ABOUT THE TUTOR: Csaba Tibor Palotas has been leading a life drawing course in Milton Keynes for around five years. Drawing the human form is his passion, and he enjoys sharing the tips he's discovered along the way. He has exhibited in London and Milton Keynes. He has acquired valuable knowledge by attending numerous workshops with world-renowned artists. He thinks the journey towards mastery is an ongoing process that one can never truly complete. LOCATION: This workshop will take place in either Studio 15 or the Drawing Room. Both rooms are situated on the ground floor of Westbury Arts Centre. Accessible parking spaces are available to anyone who requires them. We are happy to offer assistance to visitors wherever possible, upon prior arrangements.
