Explore the creative possibilities of watercolour for drawing the human body. Taking inspiration from watercolour miniatures and oil paintings in the Collection, investigate how the close study of artworks can inspire greater experimentation and expression in the life drawing studio. Starting with drawing materials on Saturday and moving into watercolour on Sunday, you’ll develop a range of approaches for using colour in response to the female nude.

Each day starts with looking and sketching in the galleries, followed by an immersive three hours drawing the life model. Our course structure of short, guided exercises and longer poses is designed to support all levels of experience, including beginners.
