Painting & Drawing, Weekly Workshop
Life Drawing (Tuesday and Saturday)
Tuesdays Tutored (7.15-9.30pm) and Saturdays Untutored (10am-12.30pm)
during term time.
Information for Tuesday 7.15pm-9.30pm Tutored class:
New for 2024, this gently guided class with tutor Ayşe Kongur is ideal
for all levels. Reduced price tickets are available if you have a
student card or are studying at school (16+), bookable in person or by
phone. Learn how to draw the human body from nude life models in the
studio, every third week we will be working with a clothed model.
Ayşe is a creative designer who works in the graphic and digital design
fields. Life drawing is one of the focus areas in her design practice.
She has been attending life drawing classes regularly at QPAC. She would
like to translate her skills, and guide attendees along their own paths
to understanding the human body. If you have any questions about the
Tuesday evening workshop please contact Ayşe on ayse@kongur.co.uk.
Information for Saturday 10am-12.30pm Untutored class:
Untutored sessions are a chance to learn from fellow artists, share your
work and discuss your process. Come and make the most of this great
opportunity to work alongside others in a friendly, creative and
inspiring environment! Please arrive at the start time so that you can
set up your easel / drawing bench. If you are new to the studio one of
the regular attendees will be happy to assist you.
Workshops run in two halves with a 20 minute coffee-break in between.
The first session usually has shorter poses of 5 minutes-15 minutes, and
the second session has longer poses 30-60 minutes.
