Join experienced tutor and practising artist, Sue Schreiber in an introductory six-week life drawing class.
Budding artists at any level of artistic ability are welcome to join and discover the essential skills of drawing the human 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. There will be a variety of different models in this course.
We kindly ask that you turn your phone off and do not use it during the session out of respect of our models. All photography will be prohibited.
This class is strictly 18+. Cairns Art Gallery reserves the right to request proof of age of attendees.
Wednesdays 8, 15, 22, 29 October, 12, 19 November. 2025. (Please note: there is no class on 5 November).
