About ESEA life drawing
ESEA Life Drawing is a life drawing class that champions ESEA (East and South-East Asian) representation in body expression. Working with collaborators and life models of ESEA background, the goal is to provide a creative space where artists feel seen and heard. We hope to provide a fresh take on what life drawing can be, where artists can nurture their creativity with others, and socialise within an informal environment.
