with Roy Eastland
This 4-day, intensive course gives students the opportunity to focus on one of the most challenging and expressive subjects in art: the human head. Moving away from step-by-step tuition like that found on the internet, artist and tutor Roy Eastland will guide students through exercises aimed at exploring the ways that emotion, ideas and drama can be expressed through mark-making. By the end of this course, students will have gained skills in representing the human head and face, and pushed themselves to develop more self-expression through their own personal drawing style.
who is it for?
This course is for anyone with an interest in representing the human figure; artists using other mediums who want to explore drawing more deeply; beginners who find this subject difficult but want more than just a how-to guide.
what should I bring?
Charcoal, paper, drawing boards and easels will be provided.
when is it?
Wednesday 16 September to Saturday 19 September, daily 3pm to 6pm.
where is it?
This course takes place in our gallery space. This is an accessible space, but please make us aware of any mobility needs as staff may need to assist with the doors to our old building.
