Life Drawing (Mixed Pose)

When you arrive at New England House, come to the locked blue double doors next to the sign for the ‘Building Manager’s Office’. Wait to be let in or call the number on the door for entry - the Draw studio is on level 5, Unit 1 South – just knock and walk in. We will be drawing from an unclothed model who will be holding a range of poses from 2 - 45 mins long, with a short break halfway through for hot drinks and biscuits.

This class is suitable for all levels of ability with beginners welcome - a Session Leader will be on hand to give you an extra support you might need. As this is a drop-in session, you can book ahead or arrive on the day and pay by card. If you have any questions just email Lilith on [email protected].

You can turn up empty-handed but we encourage you to bring your own materials – some basic drawing materials will be available for free and paper can be purchased in the studio. Easels, chairs, drawing boards and small tables are all provided on a first come-first served basis.

The discounted rate is available for anybody on low income, students or Patreon supporters. Sign up to the Draw Patreon from just £3.60 per month to get access to the discount, online life drawing course, live online classes and personal feedback from our tutors. Whether you are a Patreon supporter or not, you can post your drawings on the Draw community Facebook group  and you are welcome to tag us with @draw_brighton and #drawbrighton on Instagram.

If you have any accessibility needs, please do let us know on [email protected] beforehand and we will do everything we can to make sure you can enjoy the life classes here. The building has a wheelchair ramp at the North side of the New England Street entrance and lifts up to level 5. For the wellbeing of everybody at the class please don’t come to the class if you are ill with contagious symptoms. We keep the studio a safe environment by providing:

• Monitored ventilation (aiming for <900ppm CO2)
• Air purification with HEPA filters
• Sick pay for our freelance life models

If you have covid, flu or bad cold symptoms we ask you not to attend - you will receive a refund as well as our appreciation!
