"Life drawing is the essence of art. The considered representation of the human form – and with it, everything it means to be human.” - Steve Bolton

Good drawings tell good stories - about people. About their moods, movements, emotions and feelings. This Speedpaint video is our new MAC tutor Steven Bolton in Action.

In Steve Bolton’s life drawing class, you’ll be drawing people in all their wonderful complexity. Capturing their essence in a series of long and short poses, learning about light, shadow, depth of field and perspective, and putting it all together in ways that bring your drawings to life.

Steve Bolton is an internationally published cartoonist, artist and author from the North Shore. He works in a wide variety of styles and media but always comes back to drawing as the foundation of all good work. Working professionally as a cartoonist for many years and drawing thousands of people, Steve has had the time to develop and expand his work with a particular emphasis on people, movement and the human form. Steve’s life drawing classes are fun, inclusive and highly informative and open to all.

Discover something new with Steve in our Life Drawing and Gelli Plate Printing short courses! These fun, hands-on sessions are a great way to explore different mediums and build your creative confidence.
