Life drawing, long poses

An evening of long poses, good paper, and no pressure to be good. Just you, a model, and the quiet of a room full of people drawing.

What to expect

We warm up with a few quick gestures, then settle into longer poses where you can actually look and draw. All levels — the room is kind.

The session

• Short warm-up gestures to loosen the hand
• Two long poses with breaks
• A quiet pass to look at everyone’s work, if you like

The studio

A high-ceilinged studio in Alfama, good light and older easels.

Your host

Theo runs the session and draws alongside you — he’s there to keep time and the room easy, not to critique.

Good to know

Sixteen easels. Paper and charcoal provided; bring your own if you prefer. Refundable up to 48 hours before.
