NAS LIFE DRAWING CLUB

The Life Drawing Club is open to everyone with an interest in exploring and practicing the art of life drawing. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, you’re welcome to take part.

Each session offers the opportunity to draw from a nude life model. Spencer White facilitates the sessions and models will hold a variety of short and extended poses to help you develop your skills.

Please note that this is a self-directed practice session, and no formal instruction is provided. Participants must bring their own drawing materials such as paper, pencils, charcoal etc.
