Join us as we guide you through a playful and light-hearted Life Drawing session inspired by the concept of Yin & Yang. You will be guided to observe and express the aura and life force energy of the model as they interact with objects in a playful and ritualistic way.

During the hour and a half session, we will share with you skills to empower your drawing of the body, fun exercises of drawing the model as they move and dance in a ritualistic manner and observing the energy of the model connecting with the alter space.


The session will run as follows:

- Warming up your drawing skills: some fun drawing techniques, expressing the model as they move around the space, paired drawing exercise and blind drawing techniques.

- Short poses (2 mins, 5mins, 10 mins): focusing on different traditional drawing techniques (focusing on the form of the body, learning shading, highlighting) to empower you to enhance your drawing skills in an experimental and playful manner.

- Longer poses (15mins, 20mins): creating fully formed pieces expressing the energy and the movement of the model, with the technically drawn still body; this brings both the spiritual energy and form together as one in our drawings.

All materials included, feel free to bring along your own drawing materials if you have a preference. Please book your ticket in advance to allow for the preparation of materials.

You are welcome to bring something to add to the alter space if you wish, something that represents the theme of the class.

This is a super exciting and engaging space we are excited to share with you ☺️

Testimony from our 4 week life drawing course:
“Thanks so much for the beautiful, welcoming and calming space to practise in. Every class felt like a guided mediation and the prompts for drawing were so well thought through.
My drawing became more relaxed and felt free to experiment and play. An amazing experience and would love to join again.”
