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.
