These untutored sessions follow a classical life drawing class structure of short and longer poses by a nude life model. Your medium is your choice in these classes, including watercolours, acrylics, graphite, and charcoal; bring along whatever materials you enjoy working with and get your hand flowing with the practice of capturing form. Easels, drawing donkey, and boards are supplied, but artists must supply all other materials. Photography and all digital drawing devices such as iPads are not permitted during life classes with nude models at the RQAS. These sessions are only open to attendees aged 18+, though younger artists aged 16-18 years may attend with parental supervision. Please contact the gallery if you wish to book. The location is the Petrie Terrace Gallery, Upstairs Studio Gallery, 3/162 Petrie Terrace, Brisbane QLD 4000, Australia. Please note, this workshop will be held upstairs in our studio gallery space which can only be accessed via a flight of stairs. Phone: 07 3367 1977.
