Life Drawing Brisbane | Weekly Untutored Sketch Club at Here Space

Join us for a weekly, untutored life drawing session in the heart of East Brisbane. Launching Tuesday, November 10th! Held at Here Space—just three blocks from The Gabba and highly central to the Brisbane Southside art community—our weekly sketch club offers a relaxed, focused environment to practice your figure drawing skills with professional live life models. While the sessions are entirely untutored (allowing you to work at your own pace and in your preferred medium), each class is hosted by experienced tutor, figurative oil painter, and former life model Charlize du Plessis, along with artist, educator, and Here Space co-founder Michelle Vine. Together Charlize & Michelle create a welcoming atmosphere, curate excellent playlists, and structure a dynamic mix of short, gesture-based warmups and sustained long poses. Whether you are a professional fine artist looking for regular sketchbook practice, a student building a portfolio, or a complete beginner exploring a creative hobby, this class is for you. 🕒 When: Every Tuesday evening from 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM. • First Class: Tuesday, 10 November • Arrival: Please arrive at 6:15 PM to select your spot and set up for a strict 6:30 PM start. 🎟️ Seating & Ticket Options (max 30 Places Total): To ensure everyone has a comfortable, unobstructed view of the model, we limit spaces and offer two ticket types at checkout (same price): • Easel Position: 12 bookable studio easels available per session. • Table & Chair Position: 18 bookable seated desk positions available per session.
