In celebration of Earth Day, join us for a unique life drawing session at Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf this April! Facilitated by artist Alice Palmer, this special session will explore the beauty of the natural world.
Life drawing is a fantastic way to observe and interpret the human form, and this class offers the opportunity to explore the connection between art and the environment, utilising both traditional and experimental techniques. The session will begin with quick gesture drawings to warm up, followed by longer poses for more detailed work. Alice Palmer will be available to provide guidance and offer tips to help you develop your skills.
Expect a relaxed, creative atmosphere, light refreshments to keep you energised, and the chance to connect with fellow art-lovers. This Earth Day-inspired event will encourage you to tap into your creativity while reflecting on the natural world around us.
Reserve your spot today!
