Why Life Drawing?
There’s something powerful about sitting in a room with other people, quietly observing a human figure and translating it into marks. It slows your brain down. It sharpens your eye. It gets you out of your phone and back into your hands.
Whether you’re working toward a body of work, shaking off a long day, or just reconnecting with why you started making art in the first place — this space is for you.
We’ll see you tonight.
