About

For this Life Drawing session we will be cosied up in the mountainous surrounds of Valla Hall with the blissful musical accompaniment of Bellingen's Maddi O'Brien, recently returned from her adventures overseas.

A laid back session open to all levels of experience. Beginners welcome!

Charcoal, butchers paper and drawing boards provided.
Please BYO your own art supplies if you prefer to use those.

We will begin the first half of the evening with a series of quick drawing exercises & after a short break, resume the second half with longer poses and time to lose yourself to the art and tunes. This session is about letting go of restraints and just relaxing into creativity.

There are limited table spaces available, all other spots are seats with drawing boards. If you require a table due to the type of medium you working with (i.e. paints, clay etc) , please request a table spot at the time of booking. Thankyou!

BYO wine/beer/nibbles 

*Doors open 6pm, Drawing starts 6.15pm*

CODE OF ETIQUETTE FOR LIFE DRAWING SESSIONS
Do not take photographs of the model, do not ask the model if you can take a photo. 
This is a violation and unacceptable, and even the request can make the model uncomfortable.

Do not touch the model.

Do NOT invade the model’s personal space. 
This includes sitting on the model’s stand any time the model is on it.
This also includes anytime you see the model before, during, or after the session, in any environment. Keeping a
minimum 5-6 feet of distance is a good rule of thumb.

Do NOT talk about the model or comment on their body or appearance. If you would like to compliment the models’
work, keep language in a drawing-sense rather than referring to beauty.

PHONES must be switched to silent mode and not used during the drawing parts of the sessions. There will be a break where you can check your phone. If you do need to use your phone please take the call or message outside.

Almost all life drawing studio etiquette is based around respect for the model. Remember, the
model is putting themselves in a vulnerable position for the benefit of the artists, so keeping models happy and
comfortable is our first priority.
