Life Drawing

Untutored life drawing with an occasional rotation of themes – ranging from narrative with props and costume, to more conceptual ideas. Come and enjoy a space where the line between model and performer blurs, where newness and surprise thrives.

Here’s what happens: whether you’re a seasoned pro or don’t know a pencil from a pen, we welcome all ages and all abilities – especially those of you who think you have no abilities whatsoever.

You can strut in and confidently do your thing, or declare yourself clueless and ask for help; you can show off your work, or swiftly close your sketchbook if you’re shy. We welcome ALL of you.

Swing by the The Royal Dick Bar or the Café for a bevvy – hot or cold, alcoholic or non- and bring it in with you if you like. Drawing starts at 7pm and ends at 9pm. We sell out most weeks; please buy a ticket in advance or try to be timely- doors are at 6.30pm. Sometimes there are some no-shows but door tickets aren’t guaranteed. We’re in the gorgeous wooden-pewed Anatomy Lecture Theatre – it’s a cosy space with great acoustics for our carefully curated playlists of eclectic tunes, or occasional live music. There is a different theme and model every week – use the theme to guide your inspiration or simply use the time as technical practice of drawing the nude.
