Sunday Long Pose Life Drawing — Studio Maverik

Join Studio Maverik for a 2-hour Sunday session of self-guided long pose life drawing & creating, with plenty of time to capture the finer details of a pose 🌞

At this session, the scene to draw from will be ✨ afternoon aperitivo ✨ inspired ~ a picturesque afternoon delight.

What can I expect at this session?

Long pose life drawing entails an experienced nude life model holding a single pose for an extended period of time, with small breaks throughout. In this two-hour session, you will have lots of time to capture the essence of a single pose and the interesting backdrop they will pose among.

We will start with some quick warm-up poses, then move into one long pose for the majority of the session. We provide basic drawing materials such as paper, pencils, erasers and charcoal, but we encourage you to bring all of your preferred materials and settle in for a relaxed session with enough time to create a comprehensive piece.

We’ve capped this session at 20 spots to ensure each person has plenty of room to spread out, relax, move around and experiment with scale and materials.

An afternoon aperitivo ✿

The vibe of the session is a relaxed afternoon of simple pleasures: creating and treating yourself. Our model will posing among an aperitivo scene — a cultural ritual of a pre-meal drink and afternoon wind-down. You are also encouraged to get amongst the theme: bring something yummy to sip and snacks of your choice!

What should I bring?

🎨 Materials: For this special extended session, we encourage you to bring any of your preferred studio materials to make the most out of the class. You are most welcome to bring wet materials such as ink, paints and watercolours, we simply ask that you bring a drop-sheet and any cleaning materials to keep our studio nice and clean for everyone.

✏️ Set-up: We provide chairs and A2 drawing boards for you to work from. As we cap this session at 20 drawers, we allow for some space for you to set-up as you wish ~ so you are welcome to bring an easel, a floor-easel, your own drawing boards etc.

☕ Snacks: We will provide hot tea and you are most welcome to bring your own beverages and snacks to keep you going!
