This workshop will provide an opportunity for artists to make sustained drawings and paintings from the model. The model, or models if numbers permit, will be posed for the whole day. Those wishing to make several studies will be encouraged to move around the pose while those wishing to complete a more substantial drawing or painting will have the opportunity to do so. Anthony aims to slow down the process of observation and allow time for each person to construct accurate and meaningful observations. The day will be longer than the usual Summerleaze day, starting at 10am and finishing at 5pm.
Participants can book individual days or save significantly by booking the package of 7 days.
