Everybody can draw. It’s true!
At Packed Lunch, we love working with the public to explore the innate creative streak in everyone, proving true every time that drawing, making, creating is something we all can do. This two-day figure drawing workshop puts that to the test.
Gestural drawing is the the art of capturing dynamic poses with economy and precision. Over two weeks, you will be guided through drawing exercises that will build skills and confidence in this aspect of figure drawing, each two-hour session offering a sequential approach to successful life drawing - from the basics to the final flourishes - with expert guidance and demonstration throughout.
A different artist model (semi-nude) will challenge participants each week, offering up a variety of poses to inspire.
Week 1 - Thursday, 12th March 2026 | 6:30 - 8:30 pm
Capturing the Entire Form - confident drawing and keen observing
