What

Join us for a unique take on the traditional life-drawing class. Alive and Drawing events feature varied and sometimes surprising set-ups, using props, music, lights, costumes, movement, narrative, masks and more to inspire you and awaken the artist’s sense of adventure.

The session is taught by Alex Cree, a professional painter. He has been teaching drawing for over 15 years and he tailors his teaching to the individual. Go to http://www.alexcree.co.uk/ to see his work. Penny Levick, a theatre performer and director, is in charge of the set-ups, models, themes and music. Together they have run Alive and Drawing classes in London for many years and are now bringing it to Dorchester.

Class details:

Beginners very welcome! Learn the basics in a creative and supportive environment. Equally, if you are a working artist and don’t require any teaching, this is a great opportunity to draw unexpected subjects!

We provide the materials: charcoal, pencils rubbers, fixative, ink, pastels, easels and drawing boards. Paper is available at cost price, sold in A1 sheets. You are also welcome to bring in a sketchbook or any other materials you wish to use.
