Tuesday Portrait Drawing & Painting - AM
Tuesdays 10am - 12.30pm
Unlike life drawing which offers a variety of poses, this portrait class asks artists to capture a likeness in one pose over two and half hours. The model is clothed and seated and suitably lit. The session is open to six artists so as to more easily afford everyone a good view of the model's face. The session is also suitable for those wanting to draw or paint the whole figure. This session is for all levels. Tuition is on hand from timekeeper and artist Chris Shaw with a focus on form (breaking appearances down to component parts and underlying geometry); values (looking at the shifts from darks to lights); application (mindfulness about the various ways charcoal, or paints, or pencils can be used) and colour (we don't want it straight from the tube! We want to mix it and think about tone: how hot or cool colours can be). Portrait Drawing & Painting at NYAS is not necessarily an academic exercise. Objective reality, proportion, measuring etc. can be turned on its head by those wanting to take a more subjective, expressive, even lighthearted approach... but for those wanting to be faithful to what they see, then Chris can help you get a good measure of the model. Materials For this class we provide free A2 newsprint and a range of charcoal and other drawing materials. If you wish to pain in these sessions we recommend you have student grade (or above) acrylic or oil paint, large and small brushes, canvas or canvas paper, palette paper, low odour thinners (for oil painting). Please also bring any other painting materials you would like to bring along. If you are just starting out and don't know what you will need, don't worry, you can use our materials for £5 per session. Our tutors and support staff will also be able to advise the best materials you may need to purchase. In addition to use of our kits, we are now selling a range of paper and canvas in individual sheets or custom sizes. For those of you looking to experiment within these sessions, please feel free to bring along any other materials and paper you wish to use. Floor easels and A1 boards are provided. Free tea, coffee and biscuits are provided. Tuesdays 10am - 12.30pm with Chris Shaw This pay-as-you-go class takes place at: North Yorks Art School 2-4 South Street Scarborough YO11 2BP
