Join us for a relaxed, untutored evening of drop-in life drawing at the Open House pub, suitable for all levels of experience!
About this Event

We will be drawing from an unclothed model who will be holding a range of poses from 2 - 45 mins long, with music playing during the session and a short break halfway through. The untutored session is suitable for all abilities with beginners welcome - a session leader will be on hand to give you any extra support you might need, so feel free to ask when you arrive. As this is a drop-in session, you can book ahead or arrive on the day and pay by card – we’re not able to take cash payments. If you have any questions just email Lance on [email protected].

What you need to bring

Please bring your own drawing materials, sketchbooks and drawing boards - some basic drawing materials are provided as a back-up if you don’t have anything with you.

The session is run at the Open House pub, 146 Springfield Road, Brighton BN1 6BZ, very close to Preston Park train station and lots of local bus routes; you’ll find directions HERE.

There will be music playing and the bar serves food and a range of drinks, including local beers & soft drinks.
