Go Figure Life Drawing – Self-led Saturday (May)
Come and join us for a fun and friendly life drawing session.
Go Figure is back but this time we’re going to be drawing for the full day!
There will be no tutor leading this session but it will be hosted by a member of the Swarthmore team. There are a number of easles and drawing boards available to use, but do feel free to bring your own.
We will be working with a male model for the session.
We will begin with some quick poses and then move on to longer ones (up to an hour in duration).
