This event will be bookable on Monday 3 August 2026. Weekly pay-as-you-go Life Drawing classes with artist and expert tutor Scott Bridgwood. Ideal for complete beginners or more experienced artists seeking a flexible opportunity to do some life drawing with experienced models and a professional tutor. No need to commit to a long course, simply book the dates you can make it and pay for individual sessions, so it’s more flexible if you’re juggling other commitments, and more affordable offering payment week by week. You will be able and encouraged to pursue your own style of working in this class, with guidance from the tutor as/when required. Scott will listen to each individual’s needs and goals and support everyone individually, with areas such as draughtsmanship, composition or concept. A range of drawing materials, paints and papers are provided and we aim to rotate models so you have a variety of body types to inspire your drawing each week. This term there will be 11 sessions on Tuesday evenings 6-8pm, and 9 sessions on Friday evenings 6pm – 8pm.
