BACAA/Tony Ryder Intensive Portrait Drawing Master Workshop - Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, UK 2025
Join ARC Living Master Anthony Ryder and the ARC Approved Atelier, BACAA on a five-day drawing workshop at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK.
This workshop is for students wishing to develop a deeper understanding of the classical tradition of portrait drawing. The focus will be on patience, craft, observation, and understanding of drawing principles. Students will learn a practical drawing method that serves as a framework in which to study the elements of drawing. Drawings are built up methodically through a succession of linear and tonal stages. Each stage embodies and exemplifies one or more universal aesthetic principle: shape, curve, form and light.
Included will be a one day trip to London to visit the National Gallery collection. Participants will also visit the Western Print Room (which has an extensive collection of master drawings) at the Ashmolean Museum. Their studio is in the Ashmolean museum and it is an incredible chance to be immersed in the collection.
