What will I learn? 

Join us for a creative and mindful evening of life drawing, where you’ll be gently guided through a series of exercises designed to loosen up your hand and get your compositions flowing. Over the course of two hours, you’ll develop your observational drawing skills while working with a live model in a relaxed, supportive setting. Guided by artist and tutor Kelly, you’ll explore a variety of expressive techniques—using charcoal, graphite, and other supplied materials—as you move through a range of dynamic poses, from quick warm-up sketches to longer, more focused studies. This workshop is perfect for all levels, whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refresh your practice. Come along to slow down, draw from life, and discover your own unique approach to figure drawing.

What will I take away with me?

You will take away a range of drawings from the session.
