About the Workshops

The aim of my courses are not just to just focus on teaching techniques but to inspire learners to explore other ideas and to discover their own creative voice.

I have been running life drawing classes and workshops since 2014 as well as teaching figure drawing courses at college. My teaching focuses on giving the students different techniques and encouraging them to find their own artistic voice and what works best for them when drawing from observation.

I am a firm believer that anyone can draw. We are encouraged to draw from a early age and, I often hear that, the only reason many people stop drawing is because they believe they are not good enough. In the workshops, I want to change that mentality and to show that everyone can enjoy drawing.

The sessions are structured in a way that gives students techniques to improve not only their life drawing skills, but also drawing from observation in general.

Life drawing workshops for artists

This course is designed for artists, depending on their ability, who would like to learn techniques to draw or improve their drawings from observation. Artists will learn to develop the skills needed to draw the human figure with a step by step guide to improving the proportions and accuracy of figure drawing.

The workshop will focus on:

- Gesture drawing

- Construction lines

- Anatomical landmarks

- Balance and Contrapposto

- Negative space

Full day untutored life drawing sessions

Perfect to improve your drawing/painting techniques. The 5 hours session will have the model in the same pose for the entire session, which will enable you to practice a long drawing/painting or a series of small studies.

Location: Hull, UK

The cost of the session is £30.00

All the sessions include paper, easels*, drawing boards, pencil or charcoals.

*Please let the tutor know in advance if you require an easel since there are only a limited number.

These are some of the comments given from previous workshops:

‘The most valuable thing of the workshop was Jorge's input. I want to attend more.’

‘I learnt a great deal from this workshop. The three most valuable things were: how to manipulate gesture in drawing, the importance of negative space and how to use angles as well as line for measuring. My drawing is greatly improved as a result. I congratulate the instructor who was clear in his exposition, considerate of his students and very helpful. I look forward to Jorge's next workshop. Thank you very much.’

‘Very useful to see Jorge’s own work and also the anatomical drawing that he showed us. Loved the way that it was structured with instruction followed by allotted time to practice. The whole class was very organised especially providing easels and paper. Jorge was friendly an approachable- I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and will look forward to future workshops.’
