FIGURE DRAWING | TEN WEEKS

Tuesday 7.30pm – 9.30pm / £160

As humans it is only natural that depicting our form should play and important role as subject matter. Built into this is the instinctive emotional response we experience when studying another person and many artists use this response in a dramatic, personal way to develop their own personal language. All welcome!

Reid Memorial Church Hall, West Savile Terr. Edinburgh

I have been attending Claudia’s art classes for two years now… What a difference she has made to my attitude and my art! The art classes with Claudia are the highlight of my week now!
Vicki Barcus
Claudia has a gift for seeing your good points and gently showing you where you can improve. She imposes no particular style and encourages you to flourish in your own way. She is very good at pointing out different ways of looking at the subject and dispelling any timidity that you may have.

Firstly, thank you so much for your lovely support and encouragement on Saturday. I learned loads but, just as important, I really enjoyed it. You manage to create a fun relaxed atmosphere which is still challenging. Thank you.
Keith Wood
You have a superb ability to bring out the best in everyone’s art work and to encourage the individuality of different approaches. I think you are one of the best teachers I’ve ever come across.
