Life Model Drawing

Every week since 2022, we have featured nude model poses, both in short and long poses. At the beginning, we have short poses (2, 3, 5, 15 minutes), then two 30-minute sessions. Between blocks, we have 5-10-minute breaks to refresh and socialize with tea and cookies. Normally, we have an interesting international group of artists, consisting of around 8-10 people, who come regularly and do not typically write about their attendance on Meetup. **Important!** Please book your ticket at Meetup by PayPal or [here](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/art-exhibitions/other-art-events/life-drawing-aktzeichnen-in-zuerich-kreiss-4-7464979469754697856.html) On our Instagram page, you can see drawings from our artists from previous events: [here](https://eventfrog.ch/en/cockpitv3/events/7365649101847824543/overview) Please bring your favorite drawing material.

Sessions of **individual runic readings** are available for beginners all along summer, both online (75 CHF) and offline in Zurich (100 CHF). These sessions are **NOT** esoteric or divinatory. We're approaching runes as **a symbolic system of archetypes** to examine any situation or question that is currently relevant to you. *If you feel stuck in a situation and cannot see a way forward, are facing a difficult decision, navigating a period of uncertainty, or trying to understand a recurring pattern in your life, a runic reading may offer a different perspective.* **You will receive:** • a clearer and systemic understanding of what is actually happening; • insight into hidden influences affecting the situation; • a better understanding of why certain difficulties keep repeating; • greater clarity around available options and their likely consequences; • practical ideas for what to do next.

Measuring proportions, in particular, will help you avoid typical beginner mistakes and significantly improve your drawings. This intensive course is intentionally structured as **an ongoing drawing course**. Drawing is a skill that develops through regular practice. A single session can be inspiring, but it's not enough to make real progress.

Each lesson builds upon the previous one and reinforces the concepts learned. A key focus is on **practical application** . You'll actively draw in every lesson and receive individual feedback. I'll personally guide you, show you alternative approaches, and help you develop your own drawing style. The goal is not only to instruct you but also to equip you with the necessary tools to **continue drawing independently** and realize your own designs. ### Draw more, pay less Those who want to draw regularly will benefit from a **course subscription**. With a subscription (4, 6, or 12 lessons), each lesson becomes significantly cheaper. The subscription is ideal for anyone who is motivated, wants to stick with it, and consistently improve their drawing skills.

Drawing manga often seems complicated and intimidating at first glance. The expressive eyes, distinctive features, and dynamic characters lead many to believe that years of experience are required. But this manga drawing workshop addresses that very fact: drawing manga is much easier than you think when you learn the right basics and are guided step by step. In my manga drawing workshops, children and teenagers learn the most important manga drawing techniques in a playful and easy-to-understand way. The course is structured so that it is easy to understand even without prior knowledge and provides a sense of accomplishment from the very beginning. The goal is to dispel participants' fear of drawing and foster their creativity. All necessary materials are included in the course, so you don't need to bring anything. Drawing paper, pencils, and other materials are provided on site. Warm-up and Sketching Exercises (10–15 minutes) We begin by loosening up our hands with simple drawing exercises and quick sketches. These help develop confidence in your lines and allow you to start drawing in a relaxed way. Basics: Manga Faces (approx. 30 minutes) You will learn step by step how typical manga faces are constructed – from the basic shape and proportions to the eyes, nose, mouth, and facial expression. Drawing a Manga Character Together (45–60 minutes) Afterwards, we will put what we have learned into practice and draw a complete manga character together. You will learn how to make characters come alive and how small details convey personality.

Unwind after work, clear your mind, and immerse yourself in a world of color – that's what this 1.5-hour acrylic painting workshop is all about. "After Work Flow" is a creative space where you can find peace, leave everyday life behind, and fully embrace the moment. No prior experience is necessary – just the desire to try something new and engage with color and movement. On a 30 x 30 cm canvas, you'll discover the freedom of abstract painting. There's no right or wrong, no perfect or imperfect – only your personal expression. You'll learn how colors interact, how they mix, overlap, and create new moods. It's not just about the result, but above all about the process: feeling, observing, and letting go. A special focus is placed on getting to know colors intuitively. You'll be surprised how individual hues change when combined and how much emotion can be contained in a single area of ​​color. Step by step, you'll develop your own abstract painting and learn to let go of preconceived notions. Brushstrokes also play a crucial role. You'll discover different ways to apply paint – calmly, boldly, softly, or with texture. Each brushstroke becomes a movement that lends depth and character to your painting. You're encouraged to experiment, try things out, and find new forms of expression without pressure or expectations. The workshop invites you to enter a state of flow – a place where time ceases to matter and you become completely immersed in the creative process. This is precisely where relaxation arises: when you detach yourself from your thoughts and simply allow yourself to drift. All materials are provided, including a 30 x 30 cm canvas, high-quality acrylic paints, and all necessary tools. At the end, you'll take your own abstract artwork home – a memento of a short creative break just for you. "After Work Flow" is more than just a painting course. It's a break from everyday life, a moment for yourself, and an invitation to experience color anew.
