Life Drawing - Queer Images
Life Drawing mit Sholem Krishtalka
This Life Drawing session provides a space for participants to explore figure drawing from observation.
The event will follow a typical life drawing structure quick introductory poses to get everyone loose, comfortable and in the flow, followed by increasingly longer more challenging poses.
All skill levels are welcome and encouraged: guidance, suggestions and constructive feedback is available for those who would like to build and/or improve their skills, and more experienced drawers who would just like an opportunity to take advantage of a live model context can do their own thing at their own pace.
- Participants should come with their own materials a pad of paper or a sketchbook, and drawing tools of their choosing (pens, markers, pencils, coloured pencils, charcoal, pastels).
- For beginners who simply want to try it out, some basic materials will also be available in limited quantities.

About Queer Image
In these monthly sessions, you are invited to express yourself by making visual art. The focus is on process, not outcomes. We aim to open a channel to our personal creativity, while forging deeper connections with our inner selves and to each other. No special skills or “talent” is required, only the willingness to actively engage with a sense of curiosity.
