Untutored life drawing session guided by local artist Tom Humby, with music and a bar, pitched at people of all abilities.
Southside is running another life drawing session on Tuesday 27 October, with local artist Tom Humby guiding the night. It's part of the venue's wider arts and community programme, and these sessions run once a month, so if you've missed the previous ones, this is a good chance to jump in.
The setup is designed for all abilities, and you don't need to bring a thing — Southside provides the paper, pencils, pens, chalk, charcoal, and boards to lean on. The poses vary from two to 15 minutes, so you'll get a mix of quick, gestural sketches and longer, more considered studies. It's an untutored session, which means you work at your own pace rather than following a lesson.
There's music playing and a bar serving snacks and drinks, and each month brings something different, sometimes with a theme to get involved with. One visitor who'd never been to a life drawing event before and who says he can't draw described it as a gentle, fun and artistic night where you need zero skills, just a zest to try something different. If that sounds like your speed, it's a low-pressure way to spend an evening.
