In a supportive and friendly atmosphere, participants are encouraged to search for rhythm  and structure from a variety of the models set poses. The life models are all professional and the nude figure will be the main subject  , apart from the occasional  costumed model.

A combination of short - timed poses and those of a longer duration are aimed at developing observational skills. The expressive use of drawing materials is also encouraged. 

As well as one - to - one tuition , work made in each session is  displayed for the purpose of  critical feedback  and discussion.
