We are delighted to welcome Brain Reynolds to tutor two life-drawing workshops with us this year.

Saturday 15 May 2022, 2.00-4.00 pm – Absolute Beginners

Church Hall adjacent to the Dovetail Cafe.

NOTE : This is a TWO HOUR workshop on a SUNDAY

This workshop is designed for our members who have never attempted Life Drawing and would like an opportunity to learn. The workshop is limited to 10 places to enable Brian to dedicate plenty of time to each attendee whilst the model completes various poses. 

You will need an easel and board, and will work with charcoal on A2 or A1 sheets of paper.

Biography: Brian runs frequent Life Drawing classes at Southampton City Art Gallery.

Saturday 9 July 2022: 10.00-3.00pm – ‘Improvers’ session

Church Hall adjacent to the Dovetail Cafe

The day will consist of different length poses from the model. The workshop is limited to 12 which will allow Brian to spend time with each attendee, helping to develop life drawing skills. The workshop will start using charcoal before introducing the opportunity to develop using your preferred media. It will be suitable for all levels of ability but does assume you have had some experience of life drawing previously.  

Please note that Brian requests that you work using a free standing easel and not from a table top. This will free up your style and enable you to produce much more expressive work.
