Life Drawing Late: Light & Shadow
Salford Museum & Art GalleryPeel Park, The Crescent
Wed 16 Sept · 18:00 · £7
About this event
Take part in our popular Life Drawing Late sessions! These monthly workshops are themed to challenge drawing skills and develop creativity in a welcoming atmosphere. Refreshed from our summer break, in this session we’ll be tackling the challenge of drawing using light and shadow. We’ll be experimenting with the lighting in our beautiful Victorian gallery to explore the idea of chiaroscuro or “dark-light”, creating dramatic contrast between light and shadow to add volume and 3D to our life drawings. The session will be led by professional illustrator Paul Pickford. Materials will be provided including graphite, coloured pencils, paper and boards. You’re also welcome to bring your own materials if you wish, including electronic devices, provided these are ‘dry’ – so no inks or paints to help protect our collections. This session will be taking place in our Victorian Gallery and the model will be nude or partially nude. All materials included. Adult £10 | Student £7, all materials included. Book early to avoid disappointment! Participants must be aged 16 years and over. All parking is paid for on arrival either online, by phone or via the onsite machine. Charging of devices is not permitted in our gallery spaces.
