Life Drawing Classes

Life Drawing Classes

Life drawing is the best way to learn to draw and develop hand-eye coordination. It's also very relaxing and a great way to clear your head after a busy working day. All artists, even the most famous and established painters and illustrators, attend Life Drawing Classes throughout their creative lives to keep their skills up to scratch. Especially important for budding fashion designers, illustrators and fine artists: our life drawing classes will help you understand the anatomy of the human body before you start to clothe it.
