Years ago I was one of the founding members of Atelier Art Classes on the south side of Brisbane. Its great to see that though I went on to other projects some time ago, the same art space has endured over a decade since founding. It continues to providing artist studios, classes, and a place to share working from the model together.

I have fond memories of doing a lot of drawing and painting studies here.

My friend Amber now runs it, and I encourage you to take a visit and do some drawing or painting at the next 4 saturdays long pose.

Here’s the information from her:

“We are re-starting the Saturday Long Pose on the 4th February 2023!

It’s a luxury to be able to work from the model for such a sustained session, so if you’re in Brisbane I encourage you to try it out!
