Monthly drawing session led by associate artist Paul Berryman in which participants draw from a live model.
MK Gallery's Drawing from Life Club is back in Milton Keynes, with the next session on Tuesday 21 January. It's a monthly club, so if you miss this one, there's another coming up shortly after. The sessions run from 21 January 2025 all the way through to 14 December 2027, so it's more of a regular thing to drop into than a one-off.
The format is straightforward: you draw from a live model, and associate artist Paul Berryman leads the session. The club alternates between portrait and figurative studies, so one month you'll be focusing on the head and shoulders, and the next you'll be working with the full figure. If you're just starting out, it's worth keeping that in mind—you can pick the session that suits what you fancy working on.
One thing that sets this apart from a typical art class is the approach. All skill levels are welcome, but the sessions are only lightly guided. Rather than being told exactly how to do things, you're encouraged to develop your own style and find your own way of seeing. It's less about following a set of instructions and more about getting your own marks down on the page.

It's £15 a session, and because it's a monthly club, you can come along as often as you like without committing to a full course. If you've been wanting to get back into drawing or just fancy spending a few hours with a sketchbook in front of a live model, this is a good place to start. The sessions run from 21 January 2025 through to 14 December 2027 at MK Gallery.
