Course details

Join artist Ilker Cinarel live from our studio in St Ives for this Picasso-inspired Saturday Life Live.  

As painter, sculptor, etcher, lithographer, ceramicist and designer, Picasso’s influence on twentieth century art was enormous. Famous for inventing a new style of painting called Cubism, Picasso painted his models from different perspectives within the same painting. 

Following from Ilker’s last Picasso-inspired webinar, this session explores capturing the figure in draped and layered domestic settings. Experiment with this abstract way of working from the comfort of your own home as artist Ilker Cinarel guides you through a series of exercises which aim to capture the full-length figure. Seated and standing against various backdrops, capture the figure in rich interior settings. Add colour to your sketches for vibrancy, luminosity and depth.

Starting with 5 and 10 minute poses, these will be followed by longer poses to develop your drawings. Recorded in our studio overlooking Porthmeor Beach, you will draw alongside Ilker from the model. Get a unique insight into how to abstract the figure, working from various perspectives and integrating them into one image.

Ilker will work live from a model in the studio while you can join from the comfort of your own home, wherever you are in the world! Share your work live with others on social media using the #SaturdayLifeLive and #schoolofpainting

I love sharing my knowledge and life experiences with others. My unique approach is to try to create individual, authentic voices in the curriculum within a conceptual and non conceptual framework. It’s great to be part of an historical, internationally renowned school.

What to Bring

You will need: white cartridge paper, charcoal, (willow or compressed), coloured chalk pastels, and any other materials such as oil pastels, coloured pencils, acrylic paints, oil paints that you feel comfortable using. Ilker will be using white cartridge paper but you can be experimental and use other paper if you don’t have access to cartridge paper.

You will need access to the internet and either a Smart TV, PC or laptop or a tablet with audio. Phones are not really suitable however cast your phone to a Smart TV.

Do I need a webcam/any equipment?

For our webinar sessions which are broadcast on the internet and no webcam or microphone is needed as you just need to be able to see/hear hosts and you can communicate using the chat function. You can watch using a PC, Smart TV or tablet. A phone isn’t ideal as you will struggle to see enough unless you can miracast to a screen or smart TV.

If you have a PC without camera or speakers, you can purchase a plug and play webcam for approx £25 which connects to a usb port. You will also need reasonable broadband connection and speed.

About St Ives

Where do I park?

The nearest long stay public car parks are the Island and Barnoon Long Stay Car Park, both a 5 minute walk away. In the peak summer months it may be easier to park at Trenwith Car Park by the leisure centre and walk down into town. If you don’t fancy the walk up the hill at the end of the day there is a shuttle bus which runs from outside the cinema.

How do I get there?

Public Transport: If you are coming from further afield the main train line runs into St Erth which is a 15 min taxi ride away or you can take the St Ives Bay Line which runs approx. every 30 minutes. The School is a 10 minute walk from St Ives station.

Driving: M5 will take you to Exeter where we recommend that you take the A30 across Bodmin Moor and into Cornwall. After passing Hayle, leave the A30 at St Erth roundabout for St Ives. Turn right at the second roundabout. This road will take you through Lelant and Carbis Bay into St Ives.

Where can I stay?

St Ives has a huge selection of hotels, guest houses and self catering accommodation to choose from. Please browse the art holidays St Ives section on our website and give us a call if you would like any help.
