Go back to the Golden age of sail but watch out there are pirates about! Fully armed with swords, cutlasses and treasure aplenty.

This session will take place in the Main Gallery at The Poly.

As with Swashbuckling Cornwall’s previous life drawing sessions, this is suitable for all ages and is untutored session.

What is Costumed Life Drawing?
The biggest difference with costumed life drawing is that the model has clothes on, you will be able to see how mail clings to the body of how a sword held. In this session, this will be expanded to not only clothe the model, but also bring a character to life.

Why do it?
There are many reasons to do life drawing, one of the most common reasons is the suggestion that it will make you a better artist. True, practice can help you improve and develop skills and these sessions offer you a specific time to focus on creating art. Do not however be put off if you have never tried life drawing before, this can be your introduction. Maybe you are the next Da Vinci just waiting for the right moment.

What will the model be wearing?
Depending upon the theme, the models will be wearing some are historically accurate (HA) clothing and others inspired by the past but made for use in theatre and film. Which means their style and construction may not be HA but looks the part just the same. Swashbuckling Cornwall’s aim is to have the model create a character that is interesting to look at and draw.

How long will the poses be?
Pose length will vary but will be between 1- 15 mins.
