Soho Life Drawing is a non-profit drawing group in central London that aims to make life drawing affordable and accessible while paying our models a fair wage. We believe that creativity is an essential part of well-being that is often stifled by the demands of busy schedules or fear due to lack of experience. We want to change that.

Located in one of London's most central locations, our drop-in classes provide an easily accessible and nonjudgemental space for you to hone your life drawing skills. We offer a portfolio boosting mix of both short and long poses with new models every week, making us a great fit for professionals and novices alike. Our members come from literally all walks of life, so don't be afraid to drop by if you have no background in art--at Soho Life Drawing, you are guaranteed to find a supportive place to explore your artistic abilities.

Here's why you'll love Soho Life Drawing

It's a Great Space!--Our sessions are held at one of London's best kept secrets--the historic Quaker Meeting House, which provides an oasis of calm just minutes away from Leicester Square Station.

Short and Long Poses!--Our sessions begin with short, gestural poses and move up to a longer sustained pose. Our models are personally vetted professionals, and some of the best in the business.

No Need to Bring your own Supplies!--We provide clipboards, and pencils, paper, and rubbers are available on site.

Tea and Biscuits!--Yes, that's right. We provide tea and biscuits to keep your energy up during the breaks! Also, quite often homemade cookies!

• Shading and Depth: Techniques for adding light, shadow, and dimension to bring your portrait to life.
• Expressive Colour Use: Experimenting with different watercolour techniques to create mood and character in your portrait.
• Practical Application: Step-by-step guidance to complete your own watercolour portrait by the end of the session.

### What’s Included:

• All materials provided: High-quality watercolours, paper, and brushes—everything you need to get started!
• Personalized guidance: Ann will work with you at your own pace, helping you develop your individual style.
• New material each session: Fresh reference images and themes, so returning students can explore new techniques every time.
• Midway break with refreshments: Relax, chat, and enjoy a refreshing pause in a friendly atmosphere.

### Extra Benefits:

• Class recordings available: Don’t worry about keeping up! All exercises will be recorded and uploaded to the Soho Life Drawing YouTube channel, so you can revisit the lessons whenever you like.

Whether it’s your first time picking up a brush or you’re looking to refine your skills, you’ll leave this workshop with a portrait you’re proud of, plus the tools and confidence to continue your creative journey.
