Life Drawing Session

The Station is hosting a life drawing session on Wednesday 18 November, starting at 18:30. The whole evening is built around one thing: drawing a live model. You'll spend the session working from a real person posing in the room, rather than a photo or a screen, which is where the real appeal of life drawing lies. It's a chance to slow down and really look at what you're drawing, and to see how a human figure actually holds together in three dimensions.

One of the best things about these sessions is that they're open to artists of all levels. You don't need to be a seasoned pro or have a portfolio full of work to get involved; it's just as much for people who draw for a hobby as it is for those who take it more seriously. If you've never drawn a person before, this is a low-pressure way to start. The atmosphere is kept relaxed, so you can just focus on your own page without worrying about what's happening around you.

Refreshments are available on the night, which makes it easy to turn a mid-week evening into a proper outing. It's the kind of thing that works well as a solo trip if you just want a few hours of quiet focus, or as a night out with friends if you're all keen on drawing. Between the model and the refreshments, there's enough to keep you going for the whole session.

It all happens at The Station, 7 High Street, King's Heath, B14 7BB, in Birmingham. The session kicks off at 18:30 on Wednesday 18 November, and tickets are £11.55.
