25.01.2022 Remember German Jenia who was posing at After Dark on Sunday? Well she'll be posing for Mt Hawthorn tomorrow night, 21 October!! We think she is divine and looks like some kind of gorgeous European fertility goddess - less "Venus of Wilendorf" and more "Aslaug of Vikings". She'll be doing 2-15 min poses over the 2 hours. And won't be bringing her sausage dogs Evie and Riley.... ... unless you all really really want them there. Here's a picture from her posing on Sunday morning. Looks like the doglettes have worn themselves out running around and have taken up position on the lounge chair. Ticketing >> https://www.trybooking.com/BLIUT Pay online or at the venue.
25.01.2022 This fantastic exhibition is on at STALA Contemporary Art on Cleaver Street in North Perth at the moment. 4 artists with 4 very different but cohesive styles work in perfect harmony in this showing - painting, etching, print making and concrete sculptures. If youre in the vicinity on Saturday pop in to hear the artist talk or just jump in and have a meander through the work while its up.
25.01.2022 If you'd like to grab a ticket for tomorrow's nights life drawing I've added sessions for October - I can't believe the first month back is over already!!! Ticketing link >>> https://www.trybooking.com/BLIUT Tomorrow's model will be the wonderfully greyhound-esque Kate. We are sure she has an extra vertabrae or two that means she can contort her spine into extra weird poses for us.
25.01.2022 After Dark Gallery & Studio in the Perth CBD are having a triple model session tomorrow (Sunday at 10am) - and evoking The 3 Graces. Lots of Ancient Greek styling, columns galore, olive wreaths and amphorae!. 25-min poses over the 2 hour session for $15. Come in to the studio on Pier Street (3hrs of free parking in CPP car parks in the city on the weekends) or Zoom in from your home studio (with alllll your stuff :-) Lea, Elizabeth and Jane posing so curves and flesh galore! Keeping it Rubens style. https://www.facebook.com/events/266931821084073
24.01.2022 Its all about how you label it.
22.01.2022 City of Vincent have finally sorted out permissions, licences and other assorted red tapey things so we can get the show back on the road! Well be starting back up on Wednesday nights - 2 September. Put it in your diaries - and well create a booking link if youd like to pay online. Keeping the numbers to 10 max at the moment - to make sure we all fit :-)... The quick sketch done below via Zoom by David Lachman. Reminds of the illustrations that went with Roald Dahls stories.
22.01.2022 Sharing some drawing inspo with you from the @life drawing in Australia page. We LOVE Petros' big bold style of life drawing. It's an absolutely joy!!!
22.01.2022 So we think that we might change the event length to 2 hours and chop out most of the break. Keep it to a brief 5 minute breather and then get back into it. Well drop the price to $18 for full price and keep the concession as $15. What do you all think about this? And would you prefer it to start at 6:30 or 7pm? We are all ears!
21.01.2022 And suddenly winter returned... And all the life drawing sessions were caught unawares with their heaters already put at the back of the cupboards.
21.01.2022 Online life drawing Sunday morning at 10am from After Dark in Perth CBD. La will be posing for the session with 15-20 minute poses and a slight homage to 4th of July with light lashings of Americano. 2hrs of drawing for $11.00 Ticketing: https://www.trybooking.com/BKGTZ
20.01.2022 Happy Monday everyone! This week at In Real Life life drawing at Mt Hawthorn we will have Alabaster Ellie posing for us. You can buy a ticket online (so you dont have to worry about cash and other things) or you can pay at the venue with cash. We will also leave the ticketing link open until over half way through the session so if you just turned up and want to buy a ticket you still can :-) Heres the link... https://www.trybooking.com/BLIUT And heres a picture of Ellie so you know who youll be drawing this week!
20.01.2022 Do we have any portrait drawers in pencil in the group?
19.01.2022 Reminder that life drawing is on tonight (Wed) in Mt Hawthorn - 7-9pm. Model will be Jane so expect dynamic, strong and graceful poses. You can pay online at https://www.trybooking.com/BLIUT right up until the end of the session (if you turn up at the last minute and don't have any cash) or pay in cash when you arrive. There are plenty of tables to lean on and a handful of easels to use. BYO snacks and beverage (we have wine glasses!) and keep yourself fuelled for the 2 hour... session - we don't have a formal break so nosh when you need to. If you haven't been to the session before, The Art Garage is down a little laneway behind the bus stop at 191 Scarborough Beach Road. They have a gift shop out the front in bright pink and charcoal - Gift TAF. So head down the right hand side of that. This hat might be featuring in the session tonight as seen here in Graham's drawings from Monday morning Figure Art Bassendean. He's also a regular at the new Life Drawing Ellenbrook session on Thursday mornings.
19.01.2022 For those of you who post their works on online art stores like BlueThumb, this is a great article about what to do if you find someone stealing your work. Its a couple of years old now but still very valid. https://www.abc.net.au//flossy-p-finds-online-ma/10316738
17.01.2022 We still have a few places left for Sunday's drawing session - and I know that a few of you were probably waiting to see what was happening in your diary before booking it - there is usually a flurry of last minute bookings for events these days! So this is a little reminder to have a look at your diary and see if you're available Sunday afternoon to come and draw with Andy Quilty. (For those of you who missed out on getting into his drawing workshop for the Lester Prize will probably be particularly keen!) 3 hour session for $85 2pm-5pm, Sunday, 11 August At The Art Garage 191 in Mt Hawthorn https://www.trybooking.com/BLUPY
17.01.2022 Ticketing link for this Wednesday, 2 September https://www.trybooking.com/BLGPR

16.01.2022 Anyone do print making in the group? I think theres a few of you who might be interested in this.
16.01.2022 This Sundays (16 August) 2hr session of 20-minute poses at After Dark Gallery & Studio will be styled ala the Silk Road with Jane. Textiles and trappings, draped and undraped. Enough flesh for the life drawers and just the right amount of rich fabrics and embellishments for those of you who want to take your colours for a run. 10am start in-studio and online via Zoom - $11 for 2 hours.... For ticketing see the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/266931771084078/
16.01.2022 2 things... - we are changing the time of the session to chop the big break out. So start at 7pm with a short 5 min break in the middle and finishing at 9pm - we have the wonderfully quirky Lea posing for us this week! you may remember her from bringing her parrot along for us to draw and styling a session ala Gothic Library, and her charming French accent. ... If youd like to grab a ticket for a session head to the ticketing link at... https://www.trybooking.com/BLIUT
15.01.2022 Happy Phase 4 of Covid restrictions! Life drawing sessions are still running strong from After Dark Gallery & Studio in Perth CBD via Zoom and in real life and we have another session on tomorrow at 10am. You can Zoom into the session or you can come along and draw with us. Were at 10-14 Pier Street on the top floor. The gallery is a dark space so we can create some great lighting on the models. Tomorrow well have Jenia pose for us. Shes a wonderfully pale (newly) Maternal... Amazon and will be doing a session of 20-minute poses for us. The studio lighting makes the most of drama of her poses. You can buy a ticket from the link on the event page below (the ticketing link stays open until half way through the session - the Zoom login details are emailed with your ticket confirmation) or if youre coming into the studio you can just pay cash. $10 for the 2 hour session https://www.facebook.com/events/266931771084078/ See more
15.01.2022 Oh, you lucky things!!! Ive organised Lynette to come and pose for you all this Wednesday! Strong and languid and a creative model. Always looking for things to drape herself on / around / through. Weve had her pose for After Dark on Tuesday and today and everyone was very very happy with their work. ... If youd like to grab a ticket for the session then head to >>> https://www.trybooking.com/BLIUT And for some insight into what kind of poses you might be getting... The first one is by Allan Burke in Spearwood and the second is by Angela Walker in Victoria, both done via the power of Zoom. And a reminder that we are STARTING AT 7 PM - with only a very short break and going to 9pm. This saves that bit of time in the middle where we dont really know how to socialise in a time of covid so lets just get on with the drawing!
15.01.2022 Life drawing is on tonight at both 4:30pm and 7pm And the After Dark gallery has opened its doors for in-real-life drawers to come and have a scribble. Theyll also be Zooming the session. 2 hrs, $10, 2-15 minute poses, 5 minute break. Link to the 4:30pm session will be in the comments
15.01.2022 You are all as keen as mustard to get back into life drawing in real life! We had a couple of people turn up last week at the door hoping we were starting. Apologies, I should have included a start date on the revised banner. Was too keen to let you all know we are back on like Donkey Kong - and were starting THIS WEEK! Model for the first week back will be Curvaceous Jane. Poses will be 2-20 minutes.... To that end, weve created a booking link to make it easier for people to pay online. This booking link will also be open until after the break. That way, if you turned up at the last moment and want to pay for your session you still can do it online. Makes it a bit easier and means we dont have to remember to bring (and charge!) the card reader thingy. If youre keen to grab a spot (were going to try and limit it to 12 for the moment to see how that goes) heres the link to the booking page. If you have any questions or problems with it then please drop us a line here on Facebook. See you on Wednesday! https://www.trybooking.com/BLGPR
15.01.2022 Life drawing this Tuesday night at 7pm will feature Willowy Jenia. You may remember her as the "Mother of Ferrets" when she came in to pose with those 2 little furry rascals for the first half and then posed regular life model style for the second half. You can join the session either via online via Zoom or by coming into the studio in the Perth CBD. Buy a ticket online at: https://www.trybooking.com/BKDJG... and the Zoom login details will be sent to you email with your ticket confirmation. You can also buy an in-studio ticket the same way or you can pay via cash or card when you get here. We have space for about 6 artists in the studio at the moment. (And dress warm, the concrete floor in the studio keeps it a bit cool in there but at least we arent scrunching charcoal into the Axminster ;-) See more
14.01.2022 If youd like to be kept out of trouble this evening you might like to join After Dark Gallery & Studio for their quick draw 3-min pose session tonight. You can join them in-studio or zoom in to this session starting at 7pm and going for 2 hours of 3-min poses.. White floor, black walls, great lighting. And they will be taking high res photos of each of the poses (like the one in the event banner). You can buy a ticket to the session PLUS get all the photos, or just the se...ssion, or just the photos (and maybe you can buy a photo of each of the individual poses if you dont want all of them). And Jane will be posing (and keeping her hands away from Friday night beverages and online shopping). https://www.facebook.com/events/1247439118929335
14.01.2022 So many people seem to have re-discovered the simple creative pleasures of life during these weird Covid times - from baking and reading to de-cluttering and drawing. We've all seen an bunch of new faces at drawing sessions right around town - and it has been wonderful to get an injection of new people into an old pastime. If you are new to drawing or just want to move your mind set, we've organise Andy Quilty to pop in to present a workshop on the afternoon of Sunday, 11 O...ctober, 2pm-5pm. It's a full 3hr workshop (the last 2 workshops we haven't bothered with having a formal break as everyone has been so busy drawing they haven't wanted to stop). This session is for beginners and experienced artists, anyone who is keen to change the way they think and see drawing. Due to Covid things we've limited the number of participants in this workshop to 14 so you'll all have plenty of elbow and breathing space. Tickets are $85 https://www.facebook.com/events/971228116685857
14.01.2022 Thank you to everyone who came along last night. Was great to be able to kick off at The Art Garage again and get some money flowing back to them to keep them open (its been a pretty tough few months for them!). The link has been updated so now you can book any session during September - hopefully this works (its the first time Ive tried this functionality on TryBooking so please let me know if it doesnt work like it should do!) A big thanks to Patty for coming along to... do her very first trial of life modelling, run the timing and cut the cake for us. Heres the link to the ticketing (let me know if I havent pushed enough buttons to make it work!). And of course, you are welcome to just come along to the venue and pay at the door (if we havent sold out spaces). https://www.trybooking.com/BLIUT
12.01.2022 Real life life drawing is on tomorrow night and Alabaster Ellie will be modelling for us.

Youll be seeing more of her tomorrow!

11.01.2022 Sunday morning life drawing session on tomorrow. If youre keen for a real life session, then we invite you to come to the After Dark studio in the Perth CBD on Pier Street to have a draw - were all allowed to gather now so were making the most of it. City of Perth Parking is also free for 3 hours on the weekends, so you can grab a spot in the Pier Street carpark and just walk down the hill to the corner of St Georges Terrace. There are a few flights of stairs to walk up - but dont worry, we all think we could do with doing a little more exercise after walking up them ;-) $10 for 2 hours, online via Zoom or in real life.
