ELLD: METAL

Weds July 17
7-9pm
The Cart & Horse (1 Maryland Point, next to Maryland tube, Elizabeth Line)
----------------------------------------------------

This week East London Life Drawing heads East for our first session in The Cart & Horse's purpose built downstairs music venue!

This week's model is actor, dancer, musician, model and muse Clapmutt (pictured), who longstanding members of our group have had the pleasure of drawing many times before, with spectacular results...

The group photos on this page are from previous sessions, at another venue, with a different model! But that's how we roll.

As always with ELLD, this is a very safe and respectful space for artists and model alike. Everybody is welcome, you don't have to be LGBTQIA+, but all the best people are.

The Cart & Horses is a metal pub where metal legends Iron Maiden played their first gig, so you MUST be prepared to play air guitar before and after speaking, and potentially rock out to some gnarly riffs if asked (NB: we are in charge of the vibes in the studio space and they will be strictly chill).

All materials are provided. As we have recently rebooted the group, all equipment is new, from the art boards to the pencils, paper, masking tape and erasers! Please consider booking in extra sessions at the special rate to help cover the costs!

You can redeem your sessions at any time, and if your plans change we can save your space for a later event, but do let me know if you plan to attend so that I can keep track of numbers and fill all available seats.

We're a training session not a contest, so remember you ARE good enough to draw with us - we learn by making mistakes, not by avoiding them! And I'm here to help you with anything you want to improve. We're a mix of creative professionals and total novices, all beavering away to refine our skills in a quietly focused and productive weekly session. Drawing from life is a skill you maintain constantly; you've never completely finished learning how to represent reality in two dimensions, it just keeps getting better...
