Life Classes
A great way to learn the art of sketching and working with tone.

Ready To Paint Sketches
I am producing ready to paint sketches from sketches that I have done on painting holidays and sketching days out, I then scan these into the computer and then print them on to Saunders Waterford paper. This takes away the fear of spending two or three hours sketching and then making a mistake while painting. The student knows that all I need to do is press a button and they will have another sketch to work from.

Throughout the year we run life drawing classes, we put these on when we get enough people interested. Life drawing is a good way for you to get used to using tone to show shape, please contact me if you are interested. The classes run for five hours between 10am and 3pm with the lunch at 12.
the class size for life drawing is seven, this ensures comfort for all. Because of the outlay involved with models etc a fixed price cannot be given until the number of students is known.
If you are new to life drawing instruction will be given, this involves the key measure so that all proportions will be accurate. Materials will be available for hire on the day, top quality 1/4 imperial Snowdon cartridge paper will be used and will be available for purchase on the day.
if you don't have transport and you wish to come by train that is fine, Chesterfield station is only about 15 minutes away and pickup can be organised.
Junctions 29, 29 a and 30 are only 15 minutes away, directions can be obtained by clicking here.
