Life Drawing
Relax, unwind, express
Life drawing is a powerful way to sharpen your drawing skills—it teaches you to observe and react quickly to what’s in front of you while still allowing room for your unique interpretation of the subject.
You’ll quickly discover that it’s not about the final drawing but about immersing yourself in the creative process, letting music and self-expression lead the way.
Join one of these relaxed sessions, where you can seek gentle guidance on your drawings or simply unwind, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere as you draw at your own pace.
Adults of all skill levels welcome.
Materials provided but you're welcome to bring your own.
