Description

Weekly figure painting saturdays runs as a 10-week, commitment-based studio practice for painters who want sustained time working from a professional nude life model. This session acts as the deep-work anchor of the week. Expect fewer interruptions, longer stretches at the easel, and enough time to build a painting with intention.

Arrive, set up, and settle quickly. Work from a single long pose, with short comfort breaks and resets, then pack down at the end. The session stays hosted studio practice, not teaching. Expect no demonstrations and no group critiques. Instead, you get a focused room and a dependable long-pose format you can return to each week.

The structure prioritises continuity. Within the session the model returns to the same set-up after breaks. That consistency helps you hold sightlines, proportions, and value shapes steady while you develop colour, edges, and paint handling. Across the block, the same model returns each week. You can carry one painting across multiple Saturdays if you want. Some artists use the block to finish a single piece over several sessions. Others restart weekly and still benefit from the extra time.

Because the pose stays nude and sustained, you can focus on the full figure. Work the structure, the rhythm, and the big abstract design that holds the painting together. The longer session supports slower decisions. Start with careful drawing. Establish a clear value statement. Then push into colour and brushwork with more confidence.

Bring your own materials. The studio provides the model and a basic set-up. You choose your palette, surface, and approach.

This session suits painters who want weekly mileage and feel comfortable working independently. It also suits artists who value a focused, respectful room. If you want step-by-step instruction, demonstrations, or feedback, this won’t fit.

Session details: Saturdays 09:30–13:30 (4 hours), about 3 hours posed model time, £25. Weekly figure painting saturdays suits painters who want a reliable long-pose routine and steady progress over time.
