Join us for an afternoon of relaxed, untutored life drawing in the heart of the Royal Arcade.

We'll be drawing from a clothed model in the public space, with a series of timed poses designed to help you loosen up, observe and enjoy the process. Each pose will hint at a character or moment, inviting you to draw not just the figure, but the story behind it.

There'll be no teaching or pressure – just time to draw alongside other creative people in a welcoming, friendly atmosphere.

Whether you're a regular sketchbook keeper or simply fancy trying something new, everyone is welcome.

Please bring your own sketchbook or paper, along with your favourite drawing materials. (No paint please, so we can keep the beautiful arcade mess-free!)

Before we begin, Otium Coffee will be open if you'd like to grab a drink or a bite to eat. (They'll be closing at 2pm so Shannon can join us for the drawing too!)

What to bring:
• Sketchbook or drawing paper
• Your own drawing materials (pencils, charcoal, pens – whatever you enjoy using)

We can't wait to draw with you!
