Life Drawing Sessions

Drawing from life, specifically the nude model, offers artists a concise way to practice and improve their skills, no matter what their goals are. The unique set of problems involved in such an endeavour allows him or her to approach and solve the myriad challenges involved in drawing and painting from life. As such, for all artists, the life class is invaluable.

Course Description

This course offers a regular, constant life drawing sessions available to all artists - from beginners to seasoned professionals - who are looking to keep their skills sharp.

The sessions begin with a few shorter poses for quick, gestural studies and to warm up, and culminate in one or two longer poses where more finished drawings can be executed. There is a short break between the long poses – often full of lively conversation – where tea and coffee is provided.
