Neon Naked Life Drawing | Bristol

Unleash your creativity in this vibrant, one-of-a-kind life drawing experience, where reactive art materials meet radiant, UV-lit models.Neon Naked Life Drawing reimagines traditional life drawing by moving away from perfection and into playful experimentation. You’ll explore a range of image-making techniques — from continuous line drawing to pointillism — and be encouraged to loosen up, take risks, and create something expressive and new.As described by Time Out Magazine:“It might look like a Full Moon party, but this evening of sketching is an experiment in light, colour, and texture. The models become ‘living sculptures’ covered in UV lights and reactive body paints. Trippy.”The session centres on colour, light, and texture, with models transformed into glowing, living sculptures through UV lighting, reactive body paint, and hand-crafted flamboyant accessories. This fusion creates a fully immersive and inspiring creative atmosphere.You’ll work through a series of short poses (6–10 minutes), with different drawing styles explained at the start.
