Life Drawing and Long Pose Sessions | belArts

belArts's weekly life drawing sessions provide an opportunity to practice drawing the human figure from life in a social and friendly environment.
For those who have drawn the figure many times but are eager to learn techniques to enhance their drawing beyond copying or observing, belArts offers tutored life drawing sessions with experienced artist Wayne Van Eyk.
The Long Pose session, held on the first Saturday of every month, allows participants to dedicate more time to painting or drawing a single pose. Occasionally, a yoga session is offered before the Long Pose to help participants achieve a calm, focused state, ready for creativity.
