Overview

In this Digital Studio session, tutor Katy Papineau will guide students through drawing a figure posed in different kinds of light. Using colour materials on coloured paper, you'll explore the qualities of sunlight throughout the day. From the vibrant intensity of midday sun to the soft hues of the evening's golden hour, you'll learn to portray the dynamic and ever-changing light of summer. Drawing inspiration from art and film, we'll illuminate our model in ways that evoke the joy and warmth of summer days.

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 not recorded and made available to watch later.
