Drawversity in-person figure drawing

Description

Conceived and led by artist & Draw tutor Jade Hylton, Drawversity is a life model class that focuses on introducing more black models and people of colour to the world of life modelling. During the session a new model will pose for the group, choosing their own pose lengths, guided and supported by Jade. These sessions are clothed, giving artists the opportunity to draw the clothed figure, or portrait, with the option of the model posing unclothed if they prefer. The session is open to all abilities & levels of experience and Jade will be on hand to offer any help you need.

Covid-safety

Here’s what we are doing to protect everybody at Draw:
- We keep the studio well ventilated and use a medical grade air purifying system to minimise aerosol spread
- Session numbers are strictly capped to allow plenty of space between people
- We keep the studio clean and provide free hand sanitiser
Our tutors & models are paid sick pay and won’t attend a session if unwell

Here’s what you can do to help protect vulnerable people and keep our sessions open:
- Use a lateral flow test before coming along
- Get fully vaccinated - it is quick, safe and easy
- Please don’t come to the session if you are unwell – you will always get a full refund
- Wear a facemask to protect other people at the session
