Drawing the Figure – Revealed by Light (16+ years)
A one-day workshop with Mary Bourne on Sunday, 30 October 10:00 am to 3:00 pm

At a basic level light simply reveals surface and form, but it can do much more than this, creating atmosphere and a sensual connection with the scene depicted. During the day there will be several longish poses that will enable you to consider solidity versus space and the way light and shade contribute to a drawing’s composition.
Cost: £46.50
