In this Digital Studio session, led by Tara Versey, students will drawing and printmaking from a live model using a direct trace-through monotype process with colour. Working through a series of short and longer poses, students will experiment with layering marks and tones to create expressive, painterly drawings.
Surfaces will be prepared using oil pastels or thinly rolled-out colour grounds. By placing thin paper over these prepared surfaces and drawing directly onto it, colour and texture are transferred onto the reverse side of the paper, producing soft, rich lines distinctive to the monotype process.
Each Digital Studio session makes use of the School's multi-camera digital studio to create drawing-from-observation opportunities that are only possible online. Tutors offer guidance throughout to help students approach different poses and get the most out of each session.
Please note: online models will not pose nude. Models in this series will be semi-clothed.
Our classes are notrecorded and made available to watch later.
