Our Community Still Life drawing night offers folks a chance to connect with others while making art. Each session will feature a still life arrangement to focus on, and participants will be guided through brief warm up sketches before settling into a sustained drawing. This session is about playing with art materials and trying something new – all skill levels welcome!

What you’ll need to bring:

– 4-5 sheets of paper or a sketchbook

– Drawing materials: pencil crayons, markers, pastels, watercolours, charcoal, etc.

Optional: one object to contribute to the still life arrangement. This could be anything from food items, toys, to clothing or books.

A light jacket (please dress for the weather as we will be outside)

What you can expect:

We’ll start off with introductions; Some warm-up sketches; Time to work on your focused drawing at your own pace

We will share our amazing work with each other at the end
