A laid back Life Drawing Session to inspire creativity whilst listening to the soothing sounds of a live musician. For all levels of experience, beginners welcome!


Charcoal, butchers paper and drawing boards provided.
Please BYO art supplies if you prefer to use something different.

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're working with (i.e. paints, clay etc) or other reasons, please request a table spot at the time of booking. Thankyou!

MUSICIAN: HANNAH HARLEN

Hannah Harlen is a singer/songwriter, guitar player and loop artist from Bellingen NSW, Hannah’s music draws inspiration from her relationship with nature, vital momentum, oneness, love and community. Hannah weaves through her song’s stories of her own personal experiences and enchants listeners wherever she plays. Hannah places emphasis on healing and connection to nature in her songwriting.

Hannah incorporates percussive playing and open tunings on her acoustic guitar, banjo, harmonica and bass to her concoction of songs and stories, looping bass lines and vocal harmonies, with velvety warm smooth soulful tones that make people pay attention.

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 or 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.

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 andcomfortable is our first priority.
