Explore the practice and principles of drawing the human form with South Australian artist Alex Beckinsale. Experiment with anatomically correct renderings to loose expressive sketches while learning from the human figure. A nude model is supplied for Life Drawing to give participants the opportunity to develop observational techniques that will enhance their drawing practice. Participants will be led through a series of drawing exercises exploring different short poses and then finish with a major drawing from one long pose.

This workshop will include a ticket to Dangerously Modern.
