Studio Live - Drawing Library

Welcome to the Studio Live Drawing Library

This is a quiet, observational drawing studio rooted in traditional apprenticeship training and classical methods. The sessions are designed as a focused practice space — a place to slow down, observe, and draw with care.

This is not a fast-paced tutorial.

It is not a performance.

It is a return to patient observation, measured drawing, and deep attention.

Each term follows a structured progression through the Bargue drawing course. You are welcome to draw alongside me or simply observe the process.

All sessions are recorded and remain available to you permanently.

Printing your Bargue Plate

The printed image should measure approximately 20 cms on its longest side.

This size is ideal for classical study — large enough for careful observation and small enough for comfortable home printing.

Paper

  • Matte paper (200–250gsm if possible)

  • Smooth drawing or fine art inkjet paper

Printer settings

  • Highest quality

  • Colour print (do not convert to black & white)

  • Turn off auto-contrast, sharpening, and automatic corrections

If you do not have access to a good printer, a local print shop or photographic printer can produce an excellent result. Ask for:

“A high-quality matte colour print, no colour correction.”

This will preserve the subtle tonal transitions essential for classical drawing practice.
