Our long-standing life drawing class, Drink & Draw, has been run online since April 2020. Participants will be guided through a series of poses, ranging from 5 minutes to 20, allowing quick sketching, more observational studies and an endless possibility for narrative building throughout.
About
The workshop will take place in the new 'Well, Well, Well' exhibition. In their current exhibition, Leyden Gallery presents, in a transformed vacated space, a group exhibition of 12 artists, all of whom explore the theme of Wellness in unique ways. Wellness is a theme which has been of immense importance over the last 18 months, with unprecedented circumstances taking many of us away from family, leaving others with financial difficulties and taking a toll on our wellbeing in a variety of different ways. During these challenging times, many individuals have turned their minds to wellness in all its forms by taking an introspective look and returning to normality with a new sense of self, health, and personal awareness. Well Well Well… encompasses a range of artists, some who have had wellness at the heart of their practice for a long time, others who have used art during Covid and lockdown as a cathartic practice, and others who look to a more scientific approach. Several of the artists have wellbeing related careers alongside.
