Two hours. No distractions. Just drawing.⁠

Still Fancy Coming Along Tonight?⁠
⁠
If you’ve been thinking about joining us for Life Drawing tonight, there’s still time.⁠
⁠
We’re back in Stirchley this evening for a relaxed, guided drawing session with a live model.⁠
⁠
It’s a calm, welcoming space to switch off for a couple of hours and just focus on drawing, no pressure, no expectations, and definitely no need to be “good” at it.⁠
⁠
Just bring yourself and a bit of curiosity. Everything else is taken care of.⁠
⁠
🎟 A few spaces are still available here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-useful-art-class-life-drawing-class-tickets-1975120343115?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true
⁠
See you later in the studio!

✏️ Guidance available throughout (if you want it)⁠
⁠
No pressure. No experience needed. Just come and draw.

Behind the Scenes: Our Life Drawing Models⁠
⁠
A big part of life drawing is working with professional models who help make each session possible.⁠
⁠
Our models support a calm, respectful, and focused environment where artists can study the human form in real time.⁠
⁠
Each session brings something different, from short poses that build energy and gesture, to longer studies that allow for detail and observation.⁠
⁠
We’re really grateful to everyone who helps make these sessions what they are: a space for learning, focus, and creativity.⁠

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for last night’s Life Drawing session⁠
⁠
It was a brilliant evening of focused drawing, creativity, and calm studio energy, and we loved seeing such a great mix of styles and approaches in the room.⁠
⁠
Whether it was your first time or you’re a regular, we really appreciate you being part of it. Sessions like these are built on consistency, community, and showing up, and it’s always inspiring to see that in action.⁠
⁠
We hope you left feeling a little more relaxed, focused, and creatively recharged.⁠
⁠
We’ll be back again next Wednesday in Stirchley, and you’re always welcome.
