Drawing and design were fundamental principles of the Pre-Raphaelites artworks. One of the defining features of Pre-Raphaelite art is their reshaping of the idea of beauty and femininity – their willowy models with flowing hair, pale skin and melancholy expressions defied Victorian standards of beauty.
View portrait drawings in the Pre-Raphaelites exhibition and then work with artist Lily Mae Martin to draw a Pre-Raphaelite life model, dressed in medieval inspired Pre-Raphaelite costume.
This session is open to all skill levels and all materials are supplied.
Lily Mae Martin is a graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts where she majored in Drawing. Her work has been included in numerous exhibitions in Australia and overseas and she is represented in public and private collections including the Art Gallery of Ballarat.
