Life drawing for beginners

Mondays, 7.30–9.30pm
Eltham Living & Learning Hub

Discover the pleasure of life drawing in this relaxed and welcoming beginners’ course, designed for anyone curious about drawing the human figure from a live model. No prior experience is needed — just a willingness to slow down, look closely, and try something new. Over seven weeks, you’ll gently explore the fundamentals of life drawing, including gesture, proportion, light and shadow, and building a confident, expressive line. You will receive supportive guidance and plenty of encouragement.

Each two‑hour session follows an easy rhythm: a brief demonstration, quick warm‑up poses, and then extended drawing time with the model, giving you space to experiment with different materials and approaches at your own pace. The focus is on enjoyment, practice, and discovery rather than perfection — and life models for all sessions are included in the course fee.

This course is open to people aged 18 years and over.
