Life Drawing Session: A Journey of Observation and Expression
A life drawing session is an enriching experience that focuses on capturing the human form in its natural beauty. Participants, often ranging from beginner to professional artists, gather to observe and draw a live model posed in various positions. These sessions emphasize observation, proportion, anatomy, and creativity, making them both a technical exercise and an artistic exploration.
Each session typically begins with short poses, allowing artists to warm up with quick sketches that emphasize gesture and movement. These are followed by longer poses, giving participants time to refine their work, focusing on details like shading, texture, and perspective. Artists use a variety of mediums such as charcoal, graphite, ink, or pastel, each offering unique ways to interpret the subject.
Beyond the technical skills, life drawing fosters mindfulness, patience, and a deeper appreciation for the diversity and complexity of the human body. It’s a space to connect with the essence of art: translating what the eye sees into an emotional or conceptual expression.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or a curious beginner, life drawing sessions are a timeless practice that sharpens your skills while inspiring creativity and self-expression.
In our session, we also explore identity and representation. We celebrate the diversity of human bodies, challenging conventional standards of beauty and representation. We learn to appreciate and depict different body types, ages, and identify, promoting inclusivity.
How our session works:
The session is a communal session. You don't have to be a professional. Should you have questions, please ask during the session. There will be a short briefing in the beginning and then you are free to explore your drawing abilities. We don't practice any critiquing sessions but should you want to ask for more directions, please feel free to ask during the session. The timed poses: 2x 2min 2x 5 min 2x 10 min 2x 15min 1x 20min 1x 30min
Note: This is not a masterclass.
