About this Event
Life Drawing in Chorlton Unitarian Church!
Life Drawing with HOP
Create & connect at our relaxed arty socials! We celebrate the human form in all its glory, whether you’re an experienced artist or trying it for the first time. It’s a laid-back, creative escape for your mind and soul.
Can’t draw? No worries! There are no rules here, stick figures, abstract shapes, or perfectly proportioned sketches, everything’s welcome.
What's Included?
- Art Materials: Drawing boards, pencils, charcoal, and paper are provided, but feel free to bring your preferred materials.
- Professional Nude Model: The model will pose in timed sessions ranging from 1 to 15 minutes.
- Guidance & Freestyle Time: You’ll receive creative drawing prompts for the first few poses. After the warm-up, you’ll have time to explore your own artistic flair.
- Jazzy Jazz Playlist: A chilled-out playlist, perfect for unwinding after work.
- Interlude Snackage, an indulgent board usually with cheese and fresh bread, but can vary.
