Costumed Fantasy Life Drawing

Bookings essential - please visit https://mmhartist.com/product/costumed-fantasy-life-drawing-workshop-26th-may-6-30pm/ for tickets. $35 per person, or book 2 tickets and save $10! Life drawing has long been a foundational practice of classical art and is regarded as the best way to learn to draw the human form. However, most life drawing classes focus on static poses without intention or meaning. These are great for learning human anatomy, but what do they tell you about the character? Teaming up with our talented life models, you will learn traditional life drawing techniques with a focus on capturing models with props, armour, and costumes in fantastical and story driven poses. **In this class, you will:** * Be guided through a fantasy-themed life drawing class with a costumed model * Learn figure drawing techniques * Gain an understanding of human anatomy and how it interacts with a variety of materials * Learn how to effectively pose characters to convey meaning and story **What to bring:** * Your preferred paper and drawing materials, but basic materials are available if needed. * Your awesome self. All skill levels welcome! **What you’ll get:** * An understanding of anatomy, drawing, and posing * Your own artworks to take home * A great experience with likeminded people, hosted in a magical space

Intriguing coffees await us on this tour and we will have the opportunity to taste and learn about them together! Meet at the Douglas St exit of Stanmore Station.

3 Hikes. Ghosties Cave / Tomaree Headland!!! Overniter. Huge discount on hotel.

**The 2026 SYDNEY WHALE TRAIL HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN!!!** 14 hikes... 200kms of the most beautiful coastline in the world, chasing 40,000 whales as they migrate north! Our first official hike is the beautiful Tomaree Headland to Samurai Beach... one of the seven New South Wales Great Walks! Here's the lowdown on the whole weekend... **3 Epic Hikes. 2 very cool pubs. And $145+ in savings on your hotel room. I can’t arrange a better Saturday-Sunday session away. Let’s do this! 30 Max Hikers. Whales could be running too!** **THE HIKES.** **Hike 1, Saturday Lunch.** Team, you’ve gotta see this (Tik Tok is better) [Tik Tok](https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSuJUcHMh/) or [YouTube](https://youtu.be/_wzIuBe3cus) of the **Ghosties Beach Caves**. It’s a 5kms hike. We’ve gotta hike this. It starts from our pub lunch with easy parking. Perfect. **Hike 2. Saturday Sunset, Tomaree.** After hotel check in, let’s hike a shorty, but one of the prettiest views on the NSW Coast – Tomaree Headland. [Let’s watch the sunset](https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSuJUTFBP/) (Tik Tok). It’s a climb sure – but no different than hiking Palm Beach Lighthouse – yet the view is even better! **Hike 3. Sunday. Tomaree Headland to Anna Bay.** This Coastal Hike is 10/10 beautiful (it's a 2 day hike - we'll only hike Day 1)… last time we hiked it we were looking for Noah’s Fahkin’ Ark, so this will be a treat to see with clearer skies. **THE PUBS.** **Catherine Hill Bay Hotel (The Catho)** is something out of the movies… see it to believe it. It’s our starting point for lunch on Saturday before we get hiking – so cars can arrive at different times. Low tide is 118pm, so we’ll start hiking from 1pm. Arrive at the pub at 11am, 11:30am, whenever. Grab a beer, burger, enjoy this rustic, classic gem built in 1875 to serve the local mining community – this joint hasn’t changed. **Shoal Bay Country Club… this is our nite spot in Shoal Bay.** Great food with water views. Live music. Get as loose as you fancy – it’s part of our hotel property, and it’s a definite hotspot for the Central Coastie Locals. **THE HOTEL.** **Ramada Resort by Wyndham Shoal Bay** is a really nice property right on the water. Many in the group stayed there last year… from the morning coffee / croissant to the drinks to the start of the hike – this is the spot. Quick search on Wotif is ***$495 for a De Luxe 2 bedroom Beachfront Saturday nite stay. I’ve negotiated group rates for $350 – that’s $175 per person***. We’ll get ya matched up – everybody has their own bedroom (if you do want your own room, we can make it happen - all discussed in whatsapp group). **Weekends has a "2nite minimum stay" - I have negotiated a "Just Saturday stay" at a great price. It doesn't get better than this.** There's a "no cancel policy" so keep that in mind, but if another hiker wants to come, you could transfer the room to them. 3 great hikes. 2 super cool bars. Do we finish with a Central Coast Sunday Roast on the way back? Could be the go… If you hit “Attend”, please join [WHATSAPP HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CeMF3LX6Gdq3wZy5fGFYAW), and we’ll discuss the plan or send me an SMS on 0439 635 699 if you can't get into that group. Drivers, payment etc… We’ve got 2 weeks to get this locked in!
