Do you feel a bit daunted by life drawing classes? Don't know where to begin?

Kate offers one-to-one/small group sessions in her studio that will familiarise you with the basics. Learn how to think about and visualise the body's structure and proportions, and gain confidence as you begin your life drawing journey. You will be working from photos and Kate will demonstrate some movement and poses (clothed) to help you visualise joints and proportion.

From £40 per person for a two-hour session in Kate's studio.

Contact Kate to discuss your requirements and book.

“Thank you for a brilliant workshop session. We both really enjoyed it and I have already done a painting based on the sketches I made. For the first time ever I felt able to paint without having the scene in front of me or a photo as a reference. It was very exciting!” Participant of a private outdoor sketching session near my studio in Holtby (two friends – the session was purchased as a gift from one to the other)

“Thank you for a lovely day. I learned a lot and you were generous with your, time, knowledge and materials. It was all very helpful and I felt pleasantly exhausted last night!” Workshop participant

“Thank you for a wonderful day. I’ve just booked on your next workshop and am already looking forward to it!” Workshop participant

“Thank you for a fabulous day yesterday, I  learnt a lot from your guidance and will use your tips going forward. Also, to work in such wonderful surroundings was a joy.” Workshop participant
