Life drawing replay: Frankie (Magritte theme)

This video is a recording of a live Zoom life drawing session, aired on 11th Jan 2022. The recording is shared here so that you can catch up and draw from the session if you missed it, or continue to work on a drawing if you attended live! As this is a recording of a live Zoom webinar the quality is limited by Zoom and will be a lower resolution than our our tutored sessions which are recorded locally and undergo more rigorous processing before their release. Please feel free to work from the video directly, or to take a screenshot to work from - if you take a screenshot please do be mindful of the photo guidance below.

About the session

We made a Spotify playlist timed exactly to the session - listen to it alongside the session, from the start for the best experience! This session was inspired by the work of Belgium artist René Magritte. Frankie took direct inspiration from his paintings but also from his attitude of playing with our perceptions, using the digital format of the session to explore the layers of meaning impeded in how we experience live streamed imagery, recordings and photographs. Elements were made in collaboration with Ali Cluney.
