Samii by Andrew Dutton

Looking to improve and develop your drawing? Or make studies from the figure? Maybe you simply love life drawing?  

Sara Myers’ Saturday life drawing is a relaxed and friendly untutored life drawing group with professional models and lighting, set in our stunning main studio. Each event has a different model and theme carefully chosen to inspire and enhance your drawing skills.

AM - Samii will be doing a mix of short to long poses. This is a Reiki inspired session with Reiki music.

PM -  Amy will do 4 x 30 minute poses with a 5-minute warm up. She will incorporate three objects, a trunk, mirror and a scarf.

Suitable for beginners and more experienced artists alike, working in various styles and media.

As a general rule these classes run two Saturdays in every month, either with morning and afternoon sessions which can be booked individually, or all day life drawing events.

I had not drawn in years until I attended Sara’s life drawing sessions – it was the best kickstarter - now I simply cannot do without them!

Sara’s is the best class I’ve experienced. Her approach to teaching and supporting her students allowed me to develop at my own pace while pushing me (gently) to try new approaches. Also, Yardley Arts is an amazing venue, far superior to that of any class I’ve been to, including a good university life drawing class.

about the tutor

Sara Myers is a freelance sculptor based in Milton Keynes. Sara apprenticed for a short time with well known figurative sculptors Edward Russell, Lorne Mckean and John Doubleday after which she went back to school studying Fine Art Sculpture in London, followed a little later by a Masters in New York.

As well as studying, Sara exhibited and worked in New York and had a studio in Harlem. During this time she worked producing prototypes for Warner Bros and sculpted for an Artist, which developed into a long relationship that resulted in running her studio in Soho (Manhattan). After 5 years Sara returned to the Uk and rented a barn to make sculptures.
