Unwind, sketch, and socialise in the heart of Cardiff with a two-hour life-drawing session led by friendly local artists. Whether you’re a seasoned illustrator or a first-time doodler, this relaxed workshop pairs creative inspiration with great coffee and conversation.

What you can expect:

  • Enjoy a welcoming, city-centre studio atmosphere with practising South Wales artists on hand for tips and encouragement.
  • Spend two focused hours drawing from a nude model, honing observation skills and exploring different poses.
  • Sip fine coffee (or tea) as you sketch, with plenty of chat and mutual feedback between breaks.
  • All artistic levels are embraced—guidance is available, but you’re free to work at your own pace.
  • Bring your own sketchpad and pencils; basic materials are on standby if you forget.

Perfect for anyone seeking a creative outlet: beginners looking to build confidence, hobbyists keen on improving figure-drawing technique, and professional artists wanting fresh practice in a supportive setting. It’s also ideal for sociable souls who enjoy meeting like-minded creatives over good coffee.

Life Drawing Wales

Life Drawing Wales is here to promote healthy acceptance of the naked human form and to develop a peer network that could support and assist each other's practice. They deliver two sketching sessions in the centre of Cardiff each and every month.

Their mission is to encourage all to feel comfortable in their own skin and to pressure artists, colleges, universities and institutes into fair pay and conditions for Life Models in Wales and beyond.

Much of their work is with colleges and as their reputation has grown they seem to have collected many of the South Wales set! Many schools work with them and if not in the school they send students to their fortnightly sketching sessions at Little Man Coffee.
