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!
BYO nibbles / dinner
Doors open 6.00pm, Drawing starts 6.15pm
MUSICIAN: CONOR MCDONALD
Conor is an Irish Heritage Australian artist raised in Garlambirla (Coffs Harbour).
Conor’s reflective songwriting seeks out the personal in the traditional, crafting mesmerising compositions that always invite a singular connection with the listener.
Equally a fan of the old field recordings as he is of the new worlds of folk, Conor’s broad range of influences can be found in the everyday imaginations to the Folklore of Ireland.
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.
