Five-week course with tutor Ludmila Centurión Segovia on observational still life drawing in pencil, pen and watercolour.
Exploring Still Life Drawing runs at Exeter Phoenix from Wednesday 4 November to Wednesday 2 December, a five-week course that works through the fundamentals of still life drawing. It's a series of five evening sessions on the 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th of November and the 2nd of December, each running from 7pm to 9.30pm.
Observational drawing is at the heart of it, and the course moves through form, tone, colour and texture to build personal narratives and a portfolio of sketches and finished pieces. You'll work across a range of media: graphite pencil, pen, white and sanguine pencils, colour pencils and watercolour. Students are encouraged to bring in their own objects to draw, and for inspiration the group looks at the work of Latin American artists who draw on everyday objects to convey emotion. The aim is to create a safe space to share ideas and give constructive feedback, with a final week in which to present work to the group.
The course is taught by Ludmila Centurión Segovia, an artist and educator who grew up in Asunción, Paraguay, and moved to the UK to complete an MA in Creative Arts in Education at the University of Exeter, graduating in 2021. She has more than 10 years of experience teaching art to children and adults.
