We will be drawing from an unclothed model who will be holding a range of poses from 2 - 45 mins long, with music playing during the session and a short break halfway through. The untutored session is suitable for all abilities with beginners welcome - a session leader will be on hand to give you any extra support you might need, so feel free to ask when you arrive. As this is a drop-in session, you can book ahead or arrive on the day and pay by card – we’re not able to take cash payments. If you have any questions just email Lance on lancelotrichardson@gmail.com.
What you need to bring
Please bring your own drawing materials, sketchbooks and drawing boards - some basic drawing materials are provided as a back-up if you don’t have anything with you.
