Jennifer Robson - Artist is having a special life drawing session this Sunday with Gallery 48 in sunny Dundee, this Sunday.

Join in and Draw whilst supping a juicy G&T. Jen will be doing a demo and answering all your burning questions about her exhibition Embodied Bodies. The exhibition celebrates the human body and features a selection of the life drawings and figure works Jen has made over the last 3 years.

There is nothing better for your building your drawing skills than the traditional practice of drawing the human figure from life.

Exhibition continues until 25th August.

Tickets are £12. Bring your favourite materials and a sketchbook. Basic materials provided.

Here's what we have to say about our Beginners/Refreshers course starting 19th April.

"We think it's important to address your emotional and psychological experience of drawing," says Jennifer. "Too often the inevitable difficulties of being creative are lonely and frustrating, competitive and even traumatic! Our approach is a shared drawing session, where each individual is encouraged to be brave and bold, and overcome their own particular hurdles. The community that's building up around the courses is very supportive and friendly, and the progress that people make with that at their back is phenomenal.”

“Drawing from life takes so much concentration, it’s all about being very present and alive to what’s here, right now.” says Kirsty. “It's so therapeutic to set aside time to be mindful and creative like this, especially because of the isolation we've all been experiencing."

The course is suitable for total beginners or anyone who's feeling a little rusty or unsure of their drawing ability. It covers all of the basic skills from your first ever figure drawing, through measuring, quality of line, and tonal drawing. It gives you guidance for trying out different materials from charcoal and graphite to soy sauce and tea bags! Well, we all have to make do with what we've got in lockdown...

Testimonial

"Brilliant course with talented, inspiring, compassionate tutors. I would never have had the courage to do a life class 'in the flesh' with others around me as I am an anxious beginner with more patience than skill or natural talent. I can work at my own pace with lots of breaks and hope to improve my skills to the level of others who share their amazing work. Thank you Kirsty and Jen, talented artists and excellent teachers; a rare combination."

Good Times 😊

The business of becoming an artist (for me) is about building on skill, learning techniques, materials, technical knowledge, practice and time spent experimenting. It is also equally as important to search, think, explore and play to find out who you are as an artist. You don't wake up knowing what you want to make suddenly. Inspiration hardly ever works like that. Meditative, open and goal free play is so important to tune in to what is uniquely you. What you have to say and bring to the world.

Yesterday's workshop was about both of these things. The egg and shapes are a great and simple way to really understand how tone works. And painting to music opens up your heart to dreams and possibilities of what art can be. And most importantly your art.

Sigh.

If you'd like to work with me in this way please get in touch. I have a couple of spaces available for new students.

£25 ph. 5% off block bookings.
