Budding artists in Aberdeen have the opportunity to hone their skills with a comprehensive nine-week course focusing on gestural figure drawing and painting. Led by experienced artist Catriona Platten, the sessions promise a deep dive into capturing the essence and movement of the human form. The course is set to commence on Wednesday, 16 September 2026, with classes beginning promptly at 6:30pm. Attendees will benefit from the dedicated facilities at Gray's School of Art, part of Robert Gordon University. A key feature of each weekly session will be the opportunity to work directly from a live model, providing invaluable practice in observation and rapid execution. This hands-on approach is crucial for developing a dynamic and expressive artistic style. The intensive nine-week programme is priced at £290, offering a significant investment in artistic development. This course is ideal for those looking to build confidence and proficiency in figurative art, whether as a beginner or an artist seeking to refine their technique.
