Saturday Sketch Club: experimenting with the figure
Published on 18 June 2021
Join artist Jake Garfield for this fun and informal life drawing session
Working directly from a clothed model, you will break drawing down to its essential ingredients.
Expect to explore formal qualities including “line”, “mark-making” and “tone” through a series of short activities, before combining these different aspects over an extended pose. This practical drawing session is perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike. Don’t forget your pencil!

Saturday Sketch Club is designed for everyone (beginners and practising artists) and we’ll focus on a new technique each week. Each Saturday morning session will be led by a different artist, and you’re welcome to drop into as many or as few as you’d like. All you’ll need is a pencil, paper and rubber.
