Life Drawing

At Draw we run affordable online and in-person drawing, painting and printmaking classes, open to everybody. We run online life classes and printmaking-from-home courses for our international drawing community, as well as our in-person programme at venues in Brighton & Hove.

Draw Brighton

Join us for a relaxed, untutored evening of drop-in life drawing at the Open House pub, suitable for all levels of experience!

Open House

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 <a href="mailto:lancelotrichardson@gmail.com" title="mailto:lancelotrichardson@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">lancelotrichardson@gmail.com</a>.
