See event details

A event on Saturday 14th March. The event starts at 09:45.


A full day session with structured exercises and support from experienced artist and life drawing tutor Stuart Cranfield.

The session will start with an introduction to Stuart's practice. Throughout the day we will work with the different techniques he uses within his practice and build up to creating full colour pastel figure drawings.

Materials will be provided, including all paper and pastels and one prepared pumice board. Pastel sets which are used during the workshop, will be given to attendees to take away with them, to enable them to continue working with their new knowledge.

This session is suitable for those who are new to life drawing, or looking to refine their existing figure drawing practice. Limited to 12 places, to ensure each attendee can receive meaningful 1:1 support during the workshop.

If the price of this workshop would prevent you from attending, please get in touch with us to discuss a concessionary ticket. You can also contact us with any questions prior to purchasing a ticket.

-----------------

The foundation of Stuart's practice is in the life room. With many hours spent drawing from life over nearly two decades, he has honed a diverse range of approaches to drawing. As Life Drawing tutor at UWE, Bristol, Stuart shares what he has learnt with students; breaking drawing down into individual elements and translating these into concise themes and theories. His approach to pastels creates an accessible and easy route to colour drawings.

Pastels are a fantastic way to unlock colour and explore that extra element of expression. With so many colours to choose from with pastels, it can be overwhelming. Stuart will explain how he chooses his colours and share his approach to colour theory and constructing a pastel piece.
