LIFE DRAWING

Whether you a complete beginner or an experienced artist looking to sharpen your drawing skills, these sessions offer a relaxed, yet focused environment for all. The tuition (if wanted) is informal and revolves around a theme for each week - which students may or may not want to take part in. We take inspiration from a specific artist or style - materials, composition, colours or subject matter will be discussed and used to inspire everyone. We have had some unusual themes over the years including belly dancers, drawing with biros, drawing on newspaper, continuous model movement, human and dog posing together and much more!​

During the session we generally start with some shorter poses as a warm up (2 minutes and 5 minutes) before moving onto longer poses (20 and 30 minutes). Every few weeks there will also be a long pose session, when the model will hold just one pose for the entire evening. This is a great opportunity to dig out the paints!
We have a tea break half way through - and we are in the perfect location to grab a tea, coffee, pint of beer, glass of wine, chocolate sundae...
There's no need to book - simply turn up to the session. It's best to arrive about 5 minutes early to grab a seat and choose your charcoal, as drawing commences on the dot of 7pm.
