Valentine's Day Drawing -Outer Space Cult Classics Figure Drawing at Draw Brighton!

About

Looking for something more fun this V-day? Take you, & your (optional!) beau on a visit to Outer Space to get those creative juices flowing with a hot date at Draw Brighton!

Cult Classics Figure Drawing is an immersive fun drawing event with costumed models, themed sets and playful surprises thrown in.

“Love in Space” is this month’s offering – expect vintage space movie kitsch vibes; sliver hearts, UFOs, loved up aliens holding mixed poses and ray-guns!

Whether you’re coming along solo, with friends or on a Valentines date you’re guaranteed a great night drawing in excellent company!

If you’ve never drawn before, this is a fun way to get started and become part of our supportive drawing community. We will be drawing from a costumed model who will be holding a range of poses from 2 - 45 mins long, with a themed out-of-this-world playlist playing during the session & a short, chatty tea break halfway through for drinks and spacey-snacks!

Booking advisable but you can also arrive on the day if you need. If you have any questions just email Katie on katiebrightonmodel@gmail.com

What you need to bring

You can turn up empty-handed but we encourage you to bring your own materials – some basic drawing materials will be available for free and paper can be purchased in the studio.

Easels, padded & backed chairs, drawing boards and small tables are all provided on a first come-first served basis.

Each session is themed and dressing up is always encouraged! The best costume from the evening as decided by Cult Classics will win two free tickets to the next Cult Classics Figure Drawing event in April!
