About
A rare opportunity to enjoy the freedom of drawing a life model in the orchard here at Charleston. A place shared and enjoyed by both the Bloomsbury painters and writers - the old apple, medlar and quince trees still giving a special connection to the past. During the day, you will explore shape, rhythm, space, light and movement, offered by the relationship between the life model, the trees and the wider setting. Participants will have the chance to draw the model in a variety of poses, long and short, as well as in slow movement. Suitable for all levels, all materials provided.
The workshop includes an exclusive tour of the modernist home and studio at Charleston, providing a glimpse into its rich artistic history, along with all the materials you'll need to bring your creations to life. Refreshments will be provided throughout the day, including a delicious lunch made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
