MAIDENHEAD LIFE DRAWING SESSIONS
Beginners and experienced artists welcome!
Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced artist wanting to sharpen your drawing skills, these classes offer a relaxed yet focused environment for all.
Depending on the individual, tuition ranges from simple suggestions to discussions on line, tone, shading, composition etc.
If you are an experienced artist, you can be left in peace to draw to your hearts content!
Each week there is a focus which students may want to take part in. We take inspiration from a specific artist or style - materials, composition, colours and subject matter will be discussed and be used to inspire students. Every few weeks there will also be a long pose session when the model will hold just one pose for the entire evening. This is a great opportunity to dig out the paints!

Venue
White Waltham Parish Hall
Life drawing classes take place in White Waltham Parish Hall (on the left hand side if you are coming from Maidenhead/thicket roundabout).
It is near to the primary school (but on the opposite side of the road)
The car park is a decent sized and on the opposite side of the road. The entrance is slightly hidden until you are right next to it so look out for a big green salt bin.

What to Bring
A pencil and a few sheets of paper will suffice for the first time. Keep it simple for your first session, then I suggest trying out new materials gradually as you gain confidence.
I provide drawing boards to borrow and A2 paper is available for 20p a sheet.
Easels are not provided (most people use a chair to prop the drawing board against) however you are more than welcome to bring your own easel.
These are a few other suggestions...
- Willow charcoal or compressed charcoal sticks and chalk
- Pencils - graphite pencils - 6B, 4B, 2B is a sufficient range
- pastel pencils - white, black and browns are a good starting point
- watercolour pencils (remember to bring a paintbrush too
- Biros - black or blue are fantastic to draw with. The range of tones that you can create is surprising
-Fine line graphic pens (they generally come in black or brown)
- Graphite sticks
- Hard/soft pastels or coloured chalks
...and a few other useful additions:
-Sharpener
-Putty rubber/eraser
-Paper - A3 or larger drawing/cartridge paper or coloured pastel papers
