Rodinesque
has been formed by
two Enthusiastic Professional Life Models who have
felt for a while there was something missing from
Art Colleges and Private Groups. So
inspired by the works of Rodin and other Masters,
they decided to work together to capture the essence
of these Masters through Creative, Sensual and Erotic
poses, which carry and convey energy. The idea is
to present to accomplished and enthusiastic Artists
an opportunity to draw or paint two life models who
have a real connection and who are not afraid to truly
express what is seen in the work of Rodin and other
Masters. See website for details: www.rodinesque.com

New!
Use this link to promote your Special Event workshops!
We
are now only listing continuing workshops
or courses on this page rather than one-off special
events. If you are organising a one-off life drawing
class please promote it on the forum using the above
link as this page is now for annually repeated courses
or regular drop-in's only. If you are confused drop
us a line as we are only too happy to help you! email
Looking
for a workshop?
We
are sorry if you can't find a suitable workshop
listed here at this early stage of LifeART's
development. We are soon to start nationwide
searches for life groups in order to compose
a very useful directory for artists and models.
In the meantime please try asking your local
art retailer or library for any information.
They may be able to forward you onto art societies
that may either run occasional life classes
themselves or know of life drawing groups
in your area. If you are successful in your
search please let us know about the workshop
so that we are able to expand our database
and help more artists.
Do
you want to list your workshop on LifeART?
Please let us know if you would like your
life drawing group to be included on this
database. This is a free listing directory
and you may also include your a link to your
website. Don't forget, we can also promote
your models and artwork on other pages on
LifeART too. email
