"I came to life modelling from the other side of the easel - having previously attended life drawing classes myself, I was always curious what it would feel like to be the subject rather than the observer. That curiosity led me to audition for the Register of Artists` Models, where I recently passed my audition. This will be one of my first real modelling experiences, and I’m excited to continue learning and developing. I find the experience of life modelling to be both calming and quietly energising, something between meditation and physical stillness. I have a background in yoga and would like to bring some of that awareness and grounding into the poses." Mariusz

A drawing oasis. A platform for new models.

Life drawing continues apace at Packed Lunch Productions HQ, nestled in the South London oasis of Cooper's Yard. This is an experience for all levels of drawing ability and featuring life models who are new to the craft or actively growing their creative practice.

First thing in October, we welcome artists’ subject Mariusz to the life room - new to the practice and keen to develop his modelling repertoire and experience.

This is an inclusive, accessible drawing experience for all levels of ability because, frankly, everyone can draw. Believe it!

Boards, paper and materials are also very much included, but feel free to bring your own. Dry and wet materials can be used in the studio.

Hosted by Roy Joseph Butler, with guidance on where to begin and how to continue.

Spaces are limited, so please book online, and reach out if this is not possible.

Wine and soft drinks included in the price.

£20 per person
