# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Life Drawing Skills Class with Ralph Nel
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 03 Jul, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Fri, 04 Sep, 2026 at 02:00 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Join Ralph Nel for a special six-part course, learning new techniques and refining them during the course.

Session 1 – Friday 3 July
The basics: including getting set up effectively, tips to do this and considering where you would like to be located in the room. We’ll explore effective ‘mapping out’ of our drawings and using a straight edge to help make accurate mapped drawings.

Session 2 - Friday 7 August
Building upon the mapping out from Session 1, we’ll look at breaking down the figure into basic shapes, ‘negative space’ or the spaces between and around the figure.

Session 3 - Friday 4 September
Units of measurement: we'll take an in-depth look at units of measurement, and the process for identifying and applying them accurately.

Session 4 - Friday 2 October
Process: this session will explore how we weave together what we’ve learned into a step-by-step process. We'll look at where we might apply one technique, or another, and how that benefits our drawing.

Session 5 - Friday 6 November
Refinement: we'll consciously review the techniques and tips from the previous sessions and aim to combine them during our drawing process.

Session 6 - Friday 4 December
Refinement: a long-form pose. This session will apply everything we’ve learned to drawing a single, long-form pose. The model will have periodic breaks for rest, but other than that we will have time to apply and refine the use of mapping, shape identification, and units of measurement to complete an accurate rendering of our model.
