A slight change from the usual posts…
Life drawing will be taking a short break over the summer while I curate and hang this year’s @blackswanarts Open 2026 - this year marking Black Swan Arts’ 40th anniversary.
It’s shaping up to be a really strong show, with an excellent panel of judges, some brilliant prizes, and lots of exciting entries already coming in.
Please do apply and/or share with anyone who might be interested.
In the meantime, there are still a couple of spaces left on the June/July life drawing sessions - DM if interested.
A brilliantly challenging session with @anastasiawildig.artist last week - full of impressive, Euan Uglow-like poses that really pushed everyone’s looking.
Back next week for our long pose session - can’t wait.
Just a couple of spaces left across the June/July sessions before a short summer break. DM if interested.
June and July life drawing dates. (Last session likely to be a long pose, just awaiting confirmation with models.)
DM or email to book as usual. Booking confirmed on receipt of payment.
These will be the last sessions before a short summer break (I’ll be busy curating and hanging the Black Swan Open, plus spending time with my lovely toddler!) - but back as usual in September. 🌞
Some lovely work from our last session with @modellifemark .
A few no-shows last week (maybe the sunshine!) - if you can’t make a session, please do let me know so I can fill the space.
New dates out at the end of the week.
Huge thanks once again to Geri for covering last week (I was on last-minute childcare duty with a very poorly baby). Gutted to have missed Kate’s always-brilliant poses. Enjoy the long weekend, and see you Wednesday.
New dates for April and May.
A handful of spaces have already gone as I offered them to people from a cancelled session from January, so remaining spots may go quickly.
DM or email to book as usual.
Huge thanks to @cedarblack_ for modelling our first long-pose session. Some fantastic drawings all round, and judging by the feedback it won’t be the last long pose.
New dates going out tomorrow morning.
Huge thanks to @mrhughes_artmodel for modelling last week, and to Geri for covering when I couldn’t make it - the drawings looked fantastic.
Back next week for our first long-pose session… can’t wait to see what everyone creates!
Some really strong drawing last week - including some excellent feet (great work, Lizzy). Thanks to the always brilliant @sandramodelportfolio .
Back on 25th Feb.
Great to have @thatlifemodelchris back with us last week - another strong session.
We’re back again this Wednesday before shifting to a more regular every-other-week schedule.
Spring sessions are booking up fast, with just a few spaces left. DM if you’d like one.
Spring dates now bookable. £12 per session, 7–9pm at Palmer Street Bottle.
11th March will be a draped, long pose with @cedarblack_ - a proper return to a setup we didn’t get enough time with at Halloween.
First come, first served. DM to book - payment confirms your spot.
First session back after Christmas last Wednesday. I felt a bit rusty - clearly not everyone else did. Thanks to @jon__quill for modelling.
Spring dates go out on Wednesday - DM to book.
