Life Drawing at Oxford Gallery
We are taking bookings for our next LIFE DRAWING course this May-June 2022. Begins Thursday 19 May for five consecutive weeks.
Oxford Gallery will host our popular Life Drawing sessions again this May and June. Spaces are limited so early booking is advised!
Life Drawing is the practice of drawing the human figure from a live model and teaches observation and drawing skills. This course is open to beginners and experienced artists. You don’t have to know ‘how to draw’ to draw the human figure. You will not be judged on your drawing here; even the most experienced artists are learning, so if you feel like challenging yourself creatively and learning a new skill, you are welcome!
Artist and tutor Casey will suggest exercises to try or you can be self-directed.
✅ Drawing boards, easels, newsprint and sugar paper provided.
✅ Bring your own drawing materials (for beginners we recommend a soft pencil – 2B or softer – or charcoal). Experienced artists may bring their preferred materials.
✅ Tea and coffee provided
✅ Thursdays 7-9pm (please arrive at 6.45 for prompt 7pm start)
📆 19, 26 May and 2,9,16 June
🎫 Ticket options:
$120 for a block of 5 sessions
OR
Buy individual sessions at $30 per session.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
