  • I’ve done another course with Lara, this time with Luca, portrait paiting and it has been amazing. Had a lot of fun, definitely going to come back some other time. I totally recommend it.

These sessions are fun, informal, untutored and open to anyone. While there is always at least one tutor present to supervise, the model will sustain the same pose for the duration of the session. There will be a different model each week.


Drawing a 2 hour pose is a great way to practise capturing gesture, body type and anatomy, as well as an opportunity to develop understanding of what makes a successful composition.


At these sessions artists bring their own materials and can experiment with different media. Some artists will experiment with softer charcoals, coloured pencils, even chunky marker pens or paints at the drop-in.

Course programme

Course Content


While the student's work is self-led at the drop-in session, it is a great opportunity to practise the following:

Learning to make quick but accurate proportional judgements, using comparative measurement as opposed to sight-size

Using big, simplified shapes to represent gesture and form

Two value, block-in mass drawing to represent simplified forms under lighting

Using contour and edges to describe more specific forms in a narrow value range

Drawing the longer, 2 hour pose means you'll encounter new drawing challenges. Tackling these complexities will help develop your drawing skills, which will ultimately help you improve your quick drawings.


facilities


The drop-in sessions take place in the same figure room as the full-time course and therefore benefit from the excellent studio facilities. We have a range of different lighting options, all the way from natural light (only in the summer for evening sessions), soft artificial light and harder spotlights of different colour temperatures, all at studio quality specifications.


We provide chairs and drawing boards for all and, additionally, there are easels available on a first-come, first-served basis.


materials


Anything goes at these sessions, however you can buy pencils, putty rubbers, charcoal and painting materials from the LARA London shop, within the studio.


meet-up


We hope you leave the session not only with drawings to be proud of but also having met and chatted with lots of fellow artists with similar interests. These sessions are intended to be relaxed and sociable.

Beginners welcome.
