Since 2017, I’ve hosted regular life drawing sessions, predominantly in my studio in Randburg. These are quiet, focused gatherings for artists of all levels to engage in the durational, rigorous practice of drawing the human form from life.
The ethos is grounded in consent, mutual attention, and non-hierarchical collaboration. The model is not an object but a co-participant. What emerges is not just skill, but relation—attunement, humility, and the soft but intense discipline of sustained observation.
The space is structured, welcoming, safe-and-brave. We begin with a check-in. We draw. It’s fun, and good for the soul and hand-eye-cordination etc. :- )>
For more on the underlying philosophy, you’re welcome to read the Artist Statement or Vita-Socio-Anarco framework.
