Anatomy of Life Drawing - Heads & Hands
In this introductory workshop, in the morning you will draw from, and study, the bones of the human head and hands using, for reference, plastic skulls and hand and wrist bone models.

In the afternoon, you will be drawing from a model, using your new knowledge of anatomy to improve your understanding of making a portrait from life.

The tutor will explain things in easy to understand, accessible language.

This course is introductory level.

Some experience of drawing would be useful but you are not expected to have any previous experience of studying anatomy.

Anatomical drawing knowledge will enrich your drawings by improving the way you handle body structures and proportion.
