Hi,
Do you do host any open drawing nights? I want the opportunity to draw rather than a class.
Thanks
Hi Sarah, many of the classes listed are actually drop in sessions. If you aren’t sure you can use the contact details and ask the organiser about the format of the session.
Hi Linda,
thanks for your message on our website. You asked about the classes listed on the class directory. Those classes are not our own classes – the directory is open to anyone that runs classes to add their class’ details. So to find out if their class is for beginners, it’s best to contact the relevant class directly.
On Love Life Drawing, we do have a free online course for beginners which you can find by clicking on the ‘beginner course’ link in the menu above or clicking here:

It’s a great place to start for learning life drawing technique.
Thanks,
Kenzo
