Live Drawing with Ruth Leigh

At the start of the session, you’ll be introduced to a range of techniques, including shading, mark-making, and composition, to help you build confidence in your approach. Guided by an experienced facilitator, you’ll then apply these skills to capture the likeness and character of the model.
