Rodin Inspired Life Painting with Gail Astbury
Tuesdays 10am - 12pm

Rodin adopted a studious approach to the human body, building up as complete a picture as possible. He was able to capture their essence by using quick changing poses and watercolour paints which creates lightness and fluidity. As a watercolour artist, Gail has always been drawn to these studies as stand out beautiful works and they will be the inspiration for these painting and drawing sessions with a life model.
