In this very special online life drawing event, we will see through the unblinking eye of the Drawing Circus mirror. During the live Drawing Circus in Brighton our cast of models will take it in turns to visit the Circus changing room, testing new poses in front of the mirror, putting on makeup and changing costume, holding their poses for everybody drawing online. Poses will range from 3-15 minutes long, involving both clothed and unclothed poses with a session leader on hand to offer help. The session will repeat in the afternoon and the early evening (UK time) and you are welcome to join one, or both of the sessions.
