Bringing together our artist community, spend a relaxed evening at a unique life drawing experience in the Nunnery Gallery hosted by Thamesmead Life Drawing’s Jamie Zubairi.
After settling in and setting the scene, Jamie will guide us through our life drawing experience for the evening – for some, a chance to start your drawing and mark making journey, for others, an opportunity to further hone your skills in the craft of figurative drawing.
We’ll spend the first half of the session working through a broad selection of short length poses designed to warm up your drawing muscles and explore different methods of drawing and mark making, before taking a short break to grab a drink and stretch your fingers. After the break, we’ll spend the rest of the evening working through a handful of longer poses where you can really focus on your technique and finesse your drawings.
The Gallery and Nunnery Café will remain open for around 30-45minutes after the life drawing session comes to a close to give you the chance to chat and connect with the other artists attending.
All levels of experience are welcome!
We encourage everyone to bring along your own drawing materials and paper, but we will have a limited number of extras on hand for folks who are unable to do so. A hardback sketchbook is ideal as we will only be supplying seating, but bringing along your own easels, A3 drawing boards, or A3 clipboards would also work a treat too!
