Join QAS and Kasia Hebda for Term 4 of Life Drawing classes. You can book and pay as you go.

Practicing observational drawing is a core skill for anyone seeking to enhance their artistic abilities. Life Drawing teaches you hand-eye coordination, hones your observational skills and improves your focus. Engaging in life drawing not only allows you to portray the human body but, with consistent practice, fosters a deep comprehension of composition, form, and balance in our artistic pursuits.

‍

Life drawing enhances spatial imagination, accelerates your drawing process, and refines decision-making skills.

‍

Attending life drawing classes led by our experienced tutor and professional artist, Kasia Hebda, will be an invaluable addition to any creative practice. No experience necessary - beginners are welcome.

‍

Please bring your sketchbook and preferred dry materials.

‍

‍Recommended materials:

• A4-A3sketchbook, visual diary or digital tablet.
• Pencils, coloured pencils, oil pastels, conte and graphite sticks, markers (no soft charcoal or soft pastels sticks please)
• Erasers (kneadable or soft)
• Bulldog clips

‍

Drawing room etiquette and model protocol:

• No smartphones, personal music devices or photographic equipment are allowed in life classes.
• Students are expected to arrive on time, at least 10 minutes early so they can set up and be ready to start on time – we start drawing 6 pm sharp.
• If a life model is working, students and visitors will knock and wait outside the room until a pose is broken and the model is robed.
• Models will have preference over room temperature.
• Students must be conscious of the model's personal space and not approach the model without permission.
• The privacy of the model is to be maintained at all times both in the room and outside the room.

‍

Learners under 18:

Please note that these classes have nude models (male and female). We welcome learners under 18 but they do need parental consent to take this class. If you are a learner under 18, please ask your parent or guardian to send a permission email to us at hello@queenstownartsociety.co.nz
