About this Event

Come and join local artist & illustrator Lizzie How for a relaxed & calm afternoon drawing portraits of a live model while sipping on delicious pints.

This session is for everyone, even those that think that they can’t draw! Complete beginners very welcome.



The session format

We suggest you arrive 15 mins early (13:45) so that you have time to grab a drink from the bar and get set up.


The first part of the 2-hour session will focus on short poses, plus fun and quick drawing exercises to help build confidence.


There will be a break halfway through the session to refresh your drinks and have a look at some of your creations.


The second part of the 2-hour session will include longer poses and the opportunity to really get into some calm and relaxing portrait drawing. Lizzie will be on hand to offer advice and guidance for those who need it, otherwise just feel free to draw away!


Basic materials provided. Feel free to bring your own materials - but nothing potentially messy like paints or inks please!
