Ever wanted to try life drawing?
This is a relaxed, welcoming evening where you enjoy the process of drawing from a live model. Whether you've barely drawn since childhood, or you draw every day, this is your space to meet other artists, grab a drink, and get some sketches down on paper.
Come join us!
- paper and pencils provided so you only need to bring yourself (and maybe a friend)
- experienced models that give us beautiful, inspiring poses
- a great central location in Ilkley with food and drink options
What to expect
Grab a drink at the bar, then head downstairs. Grab your materials and find a space to sit and draw. Get comfy. Chatting and getting to know your fellow artists are encouraged, but not mandatory if you feel shy.
We start the session with a few warm up sketches, where we draw short 1-2 min poses to loosen up. Once we're in the groove, the poses get longer and you have time to explore details in your drawings.
Half way through the session, we have a break for refreshments, peeking at each other's drawings, and nipping to the loo.
After the break, we finish up with one or two longer poses. Once the session is finished, you're encouraged to look at each other's drawings before returning your materials and leaving the room as you found it.
