We’re delighted to launch a new series of Life Drawing sessions on Tuesday evenings and Portrait & Figure Drawing on Thursdays at Granton:hub.
The programme begins with Life Drawing on Tuesday 21 April, followed by the Portrait & Figure Drawing course starting Thursday 23 April.
Working from a live model each week, these relaxed and welcoming sessions are open to all levels — whether you’re picking up a pencil for the first time or looking to develop your practice further. The classes focus on observation, proportion, gesture, and expression, with plenty of guidance and individual feedback throughout.
Both classes offer a great opportunity to build confidence, meet others, and enjoy a focused creative space in Madelvic House. The portrait sessions are particularly distinctive, as they feature local “heroes” from the Granton community — offering a unique opportunity to draw and paint people who actively contribute to the life of the area.
“I highly recommend the portrait drawing classes by Romain and Gareth. I went with a friend and we really appreciated the amount of feedback we received — it was incredibly helpful.
“The structure of the sessions worked very well, starting with quick drawings to get used to the model, followed by longer poses with breaks in between. The models were all ‘heroes of the city’, including Sibar, a well-known baker at Granton Kitchen, and Willie, a long-standing community activist from Granton. I would come back every week if I could!” — Naomi
