A tutor sets the group up with boards, paper and charcoal, and runs a sequence of poses, starting with quick two-minute sketches and building to longer ones.
A tutor sets the group up with boards, paper and charcoal, and runs a sequence of poses, starting with quick two-minute sketches and building to longer ones. No drawing experience is assumed and the tutor talks the group through technique as it goes.
It runs one to two hours, usually at your accommodation or a hired room, and most groups have drinks going throughout. Everyone takes their drawings away.
Charcoal marks everything, so nothing pale. The model's boundaries are set out at the start and they are not negotiable: no photographs and no contact.
Open a city to see the weekends you can add it to.
In Bournemouth, life drawing is usually a private 90-minute session in a reserved room at a bar on Old Christchurch Road, in the middle of the town's nightlife, with a professional tutor and a female model, for groups of ten or more. It is strictly 18+. Because it runs in a bar, drinks are on hand and you are already on the circuit when it finishes. A mobile version can come to your rented accommodation instead. Book it for late afternoon as a lead-in to the evening.
Life drawing in Dublin is usually a private 90-minute session in a function room above a city-centre pub, with sessions found around Leeson Street. A tutor brings the boards and materials, and a bottle of wine for the group is often included. It is strictly 18+ and most bookings need at least ten people. The stag version swaps the hired model for the groom: he poses while the rest of the group draws, with the tutor directing. Daytime and early-evening start times are the norm, so it slots in before dinner.
In Newcastle, life drawing is usually a private 90-minute session in a reserved room at a bar in the Bigg Market, with a professional tutor and a female model, for groups of ten or more. It is strictly 18+. Running it in a bar means drinks are on hand, and you are already in the middle of the nightlife when it finishes. A mobile version can also come to your accommodation if you have rented somewhere with space for the group. An afternoon slot works best as a lead-in to the evening.
