Now that restrictions have eased and we are able to do more in our Downstairs space, we have rescheduled the remaining dates for our life drawing course with Daisy Perkins. This course started back in January 2020 but sadly had to be postponed due to Covid so we're super excited to finish what we started. There are three sessions left on the course but if you would like to join for the remaining classes, please email signup@thedepartmentstore.com  The cost will be £30 to cover the cost of those sessions. 

CONTINUOUS LINE AND GESTURE DRAWING - Wednesday 4th August 6.30pm - 8.30pm
Learn to free up your mind and hand, gain fluidity with your line and find the interest and movement in the figure with a curious eye and quick poses.

TRADITIONAL DRAWING METHODS - LIGHT AND SHADE - Wednesday 18th August 6.30pm - 8.30pm
Introducing a traditional method of drawing the human figure finishing with some longer poses. This is a systematic way of drawing and a great basis to understanding how paintings are built up and developed. Get back to the grammar!

FIGURE AND CLOTHES - Wednesday 25th August 6.30pm - 8.30pm
Using different colours and media, we will be experimenting with line type and modelling to describe clothing and the way it interacts with the figure. Playful and as always, short poses working up to longer studies.
