About this Event

Body Painted Life Drawing is a unique, social, creative night for everyone ✨

Across 2 hours, a life model who has been part body-painted will present a variety of poses for you to sketch, paint and draw, holding poses from 3-30 minutes.
The addition of vibrant, impactful body art design encourages you to freely express and experiment with your art. Go with the flow and have fun!
For this event, the body art will follow a comic book theme. Holy life-drawing Batman!
Super relaxed and beginner friendly!
Participants are greatly encouraged to socialise and enjoy the creative process, and there's an opportunity at the end for sharing all creations.

Key Details:

  • Arrive for a 7pm start - give yourself enough time to grab a drink and find a spot in the cosy upstairs theatre space.
  • Please BYO art materials - some extras will be supplied!
  • Finances should never be a barrier to creativity, so tickets are tiered - please only pay what you are comfortable with. If you want to attend but cannot afford it, please just get in touch - there will always be a place for you.
