I have been a figurative modeller for many years and had a classical training in the figure with drawing, sculpting and anatomy. Please see below for classes, workshops and casual life drawing group events.
A little bit about my experience: I've taught Art and Design and run sculpture workshops at undergraduate level. I have also over the years taught life drawing, portraiture and modelling from the figure for Art Centres, Adult Education and privately.
A little bit about my approach: I like teaching and I have a particular approach. Its based on the individual. So although I do group demonstrations or structured teaching and excercises, the development of each individual student and working with them is the most important thing to me.
How to get updates: Meet- upI have a group called SmArt ( drawing and scultping ftom the figure) on the app meet up. It's a free app and if you sign onto my group you will see all the events, get notificiations and can pay easily and securely through a paypal button.

This is a special 5 week course of life drawing- where we will look at the basic anatomy of the Torso. During each session we will learn about a particular area of the anatomy and view it and its actions on the model. so the time spent life drawing is reduced- but the focus means you go away understanding more of what you are looking at. Its the perfect combo course to enjoy drawing from the figure but push forward an understanding of anatomy at the same time with the luxury of having the model right there to see it. I promise you will inderstand the Torso and its forms much better after this course. The course has a break in the middle and is suitable with people who have had experince with life drawing
