David Whitfield, Untitled, charcoal and pastel on paper, 2024

The Pose

Tall Trees Life Drawing group

Opening night: FRIDAY 6.00pm 19 APRIL 2024 - Join us, all welcome

Each Sunday morning a pile of paper is covered with charcoal, ink, pencil or pastel. Drawings of the naked model.  Some are photographed, some redrawn, many are thrown away. Some are kept and some will be exhibited. These sketches are drawn from poses ranging from 10 seconds to half an hour.

Life drawing is a challenging workout, capturing proportions, light, and mood, and striving for the elusive likeness.

This exhibition shows the work of eight drawers, and the range of their work as they develop their skills.
