Life Drawing Late: Light & Shadow

Take part in our popular Life Drawing Late sessions!

These monthly workshops are themed to challenge drawing skills and develop creativity in a welcoming atmosphere.

Refreshed from our summer break, in this session we’ll be tackling the challenge of drawing using light and shadow. We’ll be experimenting with the lighting in our beautiful Victorian gallery to explore the idea of chiaroscuro or “dark-light”, creating dramatic contrast between light and shadow to add volume and 3D to our life drawings.

The session will be led by professional illustrator Paul Pickford. Materials will be provided including graphite, coloured pencils, paper and boards. You’re also welcome to bring your own materials if you wish, including electronic devices, provided these are ‘dry’ – so no inks or paints to help protect our collections.

This session will be taking place in our Victorian Gallery and the model will be nude or partially nude. All materials included.

Adult £10 | Student £7, all materials included.
