Life Drawing Late: Salford 100 & L.S. Lowry

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.

This month we’re celebrating Salford 100 by focusing on our city’s most famous adoptive artistic son, L.S. Lowry. Lowry attended life classes for over 30 years and once said “Life is the only thing, long years of drawing the figure is the only thing that matters.” In this session we’ll be following in his footsteps by exploring his life drawing techniques and seeing how he used observational drawing to inspire abstract figure designs.

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.
