Intro to Life Drawing with Sue Schreiber, Artist

Ignite your artistic vision through the expressive practice of life drawing in an introductory four-week life drawing class. Step beyond the everyday and delve into the beauty of the human form. In these sessions, you'll explore dynamic ways to translate three-dimensional presence onto paper, guided by Sue's insightful approach to anatomy, gesture, and composition.

Whether you're a seasoned creative seeking fresh inspiration or an emerging artist eager to connect with a fundamental discipline, this class offers a space to experiment, refine your observational skills, and cultivate a deeper understanding of the figure.

This course will help you develop a keen eye for detail and how to accurately capture the human form. Using charcoal, you will learn to balance tone in your drawing, applying shaded areas to balance light and dark to capture the complexities of the human body. 

Each class will begin with preliminary sketches to practice the various skills of capturing pose, angles, dimensions and details before finishing with a completed work of art.

We kindly ask that you turn your phone off and do not use it during the session out of respect of our model. All photography will be prohibited. 

This class is strictly 18+. Cairns Art Gallery reserves the right to request proof of age of attendees.
