Still Life (drawing) for beginners
2024-09-17 09:30 - 11:30, 2024-09-24 09:30 - 11:30, 2024-10-01 09:30 - 11:30, 2024-10-08 09:30 - 11:30, 2024-10-15 09:30 - 11:30, 2024-10-22 09:30 - 11:30 | The Cause Music and Arts Centre, 42 The Causeway, Chippenham, Wiltshire, SN15 3DD, United Kingdom
‘Every course a revelation’
Uniquely designed and delivered 6 x 6 week courses for beginners. Taught by local artist and designer Charlie who has over 25 years experience teaching art. Tuesdays at 9.30am – 11.30am
Term 1 – Still life (drawing) – Sept 17th – October 22nd
In these sessions, we will follow the classic method for learning to draw and paint. It is easy to learn to draw by copying the example of a tutor leading the group, but this tends to produce a ‘house style’ where everyone ends up drawing in the same way.
Your drawing style is as unique to you as your handwriting (if school hasn’t obliterated it) – here you will learn to enhance your own drawing style, not replace it with mine.
Please note: all courses begin with drawing, and include a talk about relevant art movements and practitioners.
The £99 price includes all materials and coffee and biscuits (donations taken to help with refreshments)
Your place will be confirmed on receipt of payment and the booking via the website.
Thank you – we look forward to meeting you soon

“The best life drawing class I’ve found in years”
A chance to indulge, draw and to practise some essential drawing skills in a beautiful environment, guided by someone with over 25 years teaching experience. You’ll use a diverse range of styles and techniques that stretch you and keep you motivated to improve.
All while enjoying fresh coffee and meeting some other lovely local artists. You can work at your own pace and be left alone to draw if this is how you prefer to learn.
Tuesdays 7pm-9pm (Also on Wednesdays 9:30am-11:30am)
Life Drawing is challenging and rewarding, but like drawing anything else, it takes practice and patience.
The best way to encourage practice is to vary the media and techniques available; to make sure this is feasible, we provide materials for free. This also allows more confidence as using expensive personal materials tends to inhibit experimentation.
You are, of course, welcome to bring your own materials and follow your own path.
Weeks 3 and 6 are a chance to work from one long pose with any material/technique you choose; the other weeks begin with warm-ups to help you prepare, normally followed by one or two poses following a theme.
Sometimes the session is devoted to a worksheet-style drawing, using many poses on one sheet in different materials. These are a great opportunity to gain confidence in composition, materials and mark-making.
£105 for 6 x 2 hour session term or £20 cash drop-in option (just for our life drawing sessions)
