Observational life drawing workshop:

George Stubbs was renowned for his mastery of anatomy and his ability to capture the movement of bodies; both animal and human. In this session, Bella Franks leads a life-drawing workshop focused on Stubbs’ specialties - movement, dynamic motion, and anatomy.

Held in the comfort of the Salon, this two-hour workshop invites participants to explore the moving body through observational life drawing. Attendees are encouraged to visit the Stubbs exhibition in advance for inspiration. Drawing materials will include charcoal and pencil.
