Weekly Classical Studio — Bargue Drawing
Quiet, observational studio time
This is a weekly, one hour live online classical drawing session on Zoom centred on the Bargue plates.
Each term focuses on a single plate, drawn slowly and carefully over seven weeks. You may draw alongside me or simply observe the process. There is no interaction or discussion during the session.
The aim is to provide regular, sustained studio time rooted in traditional academic practice.
