The RA website does incorporate benefits for those who cannot larn to come across it but yet.  For representative it contains some interesting articles virtually working from life.

In improver in that place is an extensive listing of events too some weekend practical courses associated amongst drawing the life model.

Associated events

Early dates for events associated amongst the exhibition (eg Drawing: The Essentials)  are predictably really nearly booked out already if it involves actual drawing! 

I possess got never ever been able to grasp why it seems to move completely beyond the imagination of the RA to seat on a LOT to a greater extent than events of the same nature during an exhibition. If practical fine art events larn booked out rapidly it's because in that place is a need for them!

They could ever effort putting to a greater extent than on too contributing some funds to their massive evolution activities!

These are the practical courses which may still possess got spaces available:

• There is a instant Drawing: The Essentials weekend course of report inwards February - too this volition accept house inwards the Life Room. I've drawn inwards the Life Room too it's an first-class house to larn a practiced stance of your model too terrible if you lot are used to drawing using an easel!
• Sarah Simblet (who is an EXCELLENT tutor) is leading a weekend workshop on Anatomical Drawing inwards March HOWEVER 
• although the website does non signal this it appears that this powerfulness move booked out already. 
• If it is booked out, you lot could effort buying her first-class volume Anatomy for the Artist (2001) - which I highly recommend.
• Or banking enterprise check out classes on anatomy which she delivers via the Ruskin School of Art inwards Oxford. She is the Tutor inwards Anatomy at the Ruskin School of Art (BFA) too teaches Short Courses inwards Anatomy, Botany too Drawing on the Summer School Programme.
• A 3rd weekend inwards mid-March has a rather long too slightly pretentious championship - but sounds interesting. In the schoolhouse of genius: an introduction to historical life drawing approaches is a Weekend-long practical course of report taught yesteryear Head of Fine Art Processes for the RA Schools, Mark Hampson.
