Spring Seasonal life drawing w. Jo Blaker
Join Jo Blaker at Globe Arts Studio for her one-off Spring Seasonal Life Drawing workshop.
This workshop is an opportunity to explore how a seasonal focus might inspire, extend, deepen or enrich our life drawing experience. If regular life drawing classes don’t feel right for you, you might enjoy the freedom to experiment that previous participants tell us they especially enjoy about this class. Artist Jo Blaker will get you drawing with a range of materials, trying new ideas & exploring your interpretation of the season, through your drawings.
This Spring themed session will be a celebration of the textures, forms & goings on in the wild as Winter becomes a memory & Summer waits for us around the corner. Expect playful, exciting drawing challenges that take you out of your comfort zone & take your work in unexpected directions. You are welcome to draw in ways that are abstract or whimsical, technical or totally intuitive - all styles welcome!
The length of this session ensures time to share & discuss our work and that we can take breaks where we need them and let ourselves really sink into the experience and savour it. The focus of this session is upon stimulating our creativity & expression as artists, responding to a range of stimuli as well as the human figure. Each artist has freedom within our exercises to make them their own - through choice of process, material, scale etc.
We hope in this session to get people started and for the artists in the room to take that in their own direction.
Please note - this class does not include teaching on proportion, measuring or other formal aspects of life drawing.
