We teach a clear and simple approach to developing an accurate, naturalistic figure drawing using the 'Sight-Size' technique. Students can expect the same high quality of teaching found on our full time courses.
Working from the model in a sustained pose over 5 weeks, learn the fundamentals of the 'Sight-Size’ technique in the context of line and mass drawing.
The teaching structure is the same as the weekday full time course. Given the unique advantage of retaining the same spot every week, students are enabled in experiencing the value of studying a prolonged pose. The curriculum criteria follows the full time course and students are given continual critiques and feedback about improvements to take into the next pose or further work outside the school.

Working from the live model for 3 hours an evening, one evening a week for five weeks, under professional photographic lights allows for careful, unchanging observation of the figure. Limited to 8 students, this is a wonderful opportunity for close instruction under a professional tutor. You will be studying in LARA's Bristol studio.
Materials
HB pencil, charcoal, canson paper and putty rubber, items can be purchased at the LARA shop.
End result
Each student leaves with a carefully observed figure drawing in either pencil or charcoal. In addition to the completed works, each student will receive tailored advice for further study, specific areas to work on, as well as learning methods and techniques to use on future drawings and correct use of materials.
