Exeter Life Drawing

Hello team! Hope you're having a great week 😊

Our usual Thursday evening class is BACK tomorrow night at the Cygnet Theatre! I am away, but the wonderful Lindsey Joanne Bauer will be hosting the class in my absence - you'll be in wonderful, safe and sparkly hands and you can expect the usual two hours of drawing joy 🥰

More classes available to book following the link in our bio 👍 See you soon everyone!

I'm really enjoying getting back into the swing of things, and I can't wait for our Beginner's Session this Thursday. If you're booked onto this class, you should have received an email from me through Eventbrite (check your spam folders if not!) I look forward to meeting you!

Our next regular untutored class is the following week on 24th September ✌️

See you soon!

Hello hello!

I'm always asked when the next Beginners Taught Session is... Well, we have one coming up on September 17th with plenty of space available!

Have you always wondered what life drawing is all about? A bit nervous to try? No idea how to draw anything?! Haven't done it for 100 years and need a refresher?

Come along to our Beginners Session and let me help you 🤗

We create a relaxed, fun, friendly environment where we remove the fear of putting marks on the paper and celebrate every line - wonky or smudgy or timid or otherwise!

We explore some techniques to help with quick gestural sketches, and how to measure and plan and draw longer, more involved poses.

All materials are supplied.

We also eat biscuits and drink tea.

What more can I say? 🤷‍♀️ It's fab!

A rare digital artwork created at one of our recent classes.

I personally love using the sessions to work with traditional, physical artwork mediums, but in this case I was trapped near the door without my sketchbook, but holding my iPad, so... drawing is drawing, whatever you use!

🎺 *EXCITING NEWS FOR NEXT TERM CLAXON*

We are launching a daytime four hour session 💁‍♀️

A chance to sink into a longer class! Thrilled to say we have the wonderful Annabella Twort Model modelling for the first one of these which will be October 2nd (plenty of notice to book the day off work 😂)

Testing the waters with this one, but very much hoping to make it a monthly class 🤞

Tickets are available to book through the link in our bio, along with the whole September schedule. And of course our summer social is coming up on August 27th 🥰

See you soon!

Where on earth has July gone?!

We are, unbelievably, heading into our last class of this term. But we'll finish with a bang with the wonderful Jósef modeling for us tomorrow night at the Cygnet Theatre👌

I'm afraid the class is sold out, but FEAR NOT life drawers, the September schedule is now uploaded and your next class will only be 4 weeks away 😊

We also have a summer social on the 27th of August at Samuel Jones 🥂☀️and the information for this event is uploaded on our Evenbrite page. As always, the link is in our bio. Everyone welcome! It would be really helpful if you could book a (free) ticket so I can let the venue know numbers.

See you tomorrow night if you're booked on!

Enjoy the sunshine!
