Main focus of the group

The main activitiy in the group is surprise, surprise, drawing! However, it's a bit more than that... We almost always go for a drink after a session and it's easy to get chatting with people and to make connections. So... it's a CLUB!!! A bit more than just drop in sessions. This is a special group and it's going places.

What kind of drawing?

Dynamic and gestural figure drawing.



Opportunity to draw or photograph a model in action and in character poses.



Quick poses from 1 - 10 minutes



Poses to request. eg model expresses anger or model flies through the air (ha ha ok, balances on a box?).



Sequential poses (movement broken down into a sequence of related poses).



Clothed / costumes / nude



Models vary. We book actors, performers and professional life-models.







Generally sessions aren't classes, we just get on and draw. We do share tips on technique, especially at the end.



Planning to schedule some master classes this year.







Drinks and socialising after the session.
