We got into the groove of 2012 with an ode to the queen of pop and (at times, somewhat sketchy) style icon: Madonna. Desperately Sketching Susan had our art monkeys scrabbling for tickets, resulting in a packed house to welcome our diva-licious demi-goddess - Willow Noir. Willow made a special trip down from the windy shores of Wellington to model and perform for us and we were utterly stoked to have her!
The Madonna of the Bowling Green: Willow Noir
Strike a pose!
In our first session of the year, we are paying homage to the material girl herself. Blonde ambition brings this superstar all the way from Wellington to grace the sketchy stage. Our 'Susan' is the glamorous pin-up, Willow Noir, and she's set to strike (several) poses and melt hearts.
This is a life drawing class like no other. Drinking! Drawing! Divas!
It doesn't matter if you're drawing for the very first time, or know your drawing tools intimately. All you need is your own imagination
For us antipodeans; December is a month held dear for reasons far beyond gift exchanging, tinsel and Christmas trees. It heralds our long awaited summer! Hemlines rise, flesh is bared (sans-goosebumps) and beer becomes even MORE palatable.
To usher in the new season (and lead by example) Honey Van Hooch shon on our stage. She was a luscious, langorous and golden muse for our art monkeys to sketch rhapsodically. With a tipsy nod to some particular artistic forebears, Honey sashayed in summer with a bohemian feel - all curves, swish and style.
Book a seat on this flight of fancy, and experience first class life drawing in Bohemian style. Drinking, drawing and daydreaming will be on the palette this summer eve'. The statuesque Honey Van Hooch will tempt and enchant you, sharing her considerable talents for your sketching pleasure.
Imagine you are spending a summer creating art at the grand, but charming, estate of a dear, dear friend. Your days are spent painting, drawing and lounging under trees, and drunken nights are spent playing scandalous parlour games.
Dress as the eccentric artiste that we know is inside you.

October is one of our favourite times of the year - when the sun starts to shine and all the skeletons come dancing out of the closet for halloween hijinks. We welcomed back to our stage the wonderful Ruby Ruin our for Dia De Los Muertos themed sketching session. The stage was set with swathes of flowers - not just crepe ones! Set against a riot of colour and lights, an enshrined Ruby held sway over our art monkeys as they sketched her avidly.
Tawdry and Rosie were on the door - guiding our (misguided) art monkeys into the depths of drawing depravity once again!
Hola amigos,
Get ready for a life drawing class like no other – drinking, drawing and dames. This session we're paying tribute to the ancient mexican celebration known as dia de los muertos, or day of the dead.
Our starring model, Ruby Ruin, is hotter than jalapenos! She'll illuminate the stage, and our souls, at the altar de muertos. It's bound to be a memorial occasion.
Bring your own drawing equipment, and feel free to dress up for this fiesta.
Our sponsors are muy buena onda! Absolution,
