Classical Portrait Sessions - hosted by Luke Thompson

Join us on the last Saturday of every month to draw or paint from the live model. In these sessions, the model will be posed in the classical tradition of portraiture, creating elegant, subtle gestures with atmospheric lighting, taking inspiration from Rembrandt, Sargent and Velasquez. The sessions are suitable for all levels of experience, styles and mediums, where you are able to practice your craft with a friendly group in a professional studio space. Your host for these sessions will be Luke Thompson, who will be on hand to help with set up on the day or any questions you may have. #block-295014aedb2cda1f5f7a .sqs-html-content { --tweak-text-block-padding: 6% 6% 6% 6%; --tweak-text-block-padding: initial; } #block-295014aedb2cda1f5f7a { } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-295014aedb2cda1f5f7a { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-295014aedb2cda1f5f7a .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { }
