Life draw chch

2025 life draw completed! 💫 ✍️

It has been an absolute honour to facilitate such a diverse , skilled , helpful and kind group of people . You made my job so rewarding and positive 🙏 . From having new people attend to having the regulars show up and offer consistency to the atmosphere. Getting to know you each has been a gift.

I’ve watched your drawing skills improve, your faces light up , your energy relax when drawing and you embrace your creativity with yourself and each-other. That’s worth patting yourself on the back for!

I wish you a very good holiday break. For me this means taking a break from instagram , but if you would like to get in touch I will still be reachable through Facebook messenger.

The life draw page would love to receive some more reviews so if you find yourself looking forward to life draw next year - put up a review to enhance our chances !

Thank you to sponsors Everyone An Artist and to for keeping the beautiful heritage building accessible to people like us !

Take care, remember to try make moments for your creativity.

lots of love,
- Antonia your life draw facilitator 💕🌱

Depictions of Laura from last session. Humans drawing one another is a lovely thing. How good are these !

These Life draw sessions are to encourage you to show up as yourself wherever your skill level is at and to create a sense of safety in creative community.

Sometimes i draw well,, sometimes I draw s**t and maybe thats ok for us all. exciting no?

You do not have to show your work or speak to anyone if you don’t wish to (But you also can if you want).

If you want feedback and tips you are most welcome to ask me or other participants. There is always much friendly artistic inspiration found in the room.

Experiencing our creativity with less pressure to perform well and more lightness in simply being where we are at in the moment - I promise there is magic in every stage of your creative practise 🪄

Everyone An Artist are the lovely people who sponsor life draw. And they are hoping to throw another festival at the arts centre next year!

Do you think Christchurch benefits from free/ affordable art, performances , access to many cultures? If so take a look.

Life draw had an awesome attendance last class. It is so nourishing to see people taking the time to practise together. As well as the obvious advancements in artistic skills and achievement life drawing brings, I also really believe in the benefits drawing with others can do mentally, socially and emotionally. 🌱 🧡

Your attendance and donations allows life draw to continue as an accessible koha class for the community. Thanks everyone for your support and to Everyone an artist trust for getting us in the art centre !

It is an honour to host such a good bunch of diverse people , to meet you as individuals and to see your progression as artist and add a bit of collective creativity to our lives ! Much love Antonia - life draw.
