Lifedrawing with Thomas Spaceyall @ Lakeside Studios

Join us for 2 hours of guided life drawing at Lakeside Studios, Thamesmead. 

These are relaxed sessions for adult artists and beginners alike. There may be so9me artistic prompts which you can choose to challenge yourself with or simply concentrate on the poses in front of you. 

This week we have the Thamesmead Life Drawing return of local model Thomas.

The cafe is also air-conditioned so we're assured of comfort. 

You're also welcome to share your drawings at the end of the session, but also you can choose not to. There's no pressure.

How to get here? 

BUSES

from Abbey Wood to Southmere Lake bus stop:  229, 244, 301, 472. Get off the bus and turn left off the flyover and carry on down the residential portion of Harrow Manor Way, to Bazalgette Way. Turn right under the underpass and the performing arts academy. Lakeside Centre is on the right surrounded by green fences. There's a circular concrete planter between Lakeside Centre and the white building site hoarding. Go down that passage towards the lake and the entrance to the cafe and Centre is the orange gate on the left.

from Plumstead 177 direct

CAR

There is free parking along Bazalgette Way. Put SE2 9AN into your map

Nonetheless, doors open at 6.30 for a 7pm start. I will be inside setting up/drinking tea. Please book to get my mobile phone number (and to know how many people are coming). Models are booked for 2 hours so please make sure you get here early to start promptly. Drawing starts on the dot at 7 and finishes at 9pm with a 15 minute tea/coffee/biscuit break after the first hour. We’ve got a few minutes of sharing of artworks - it’s always interesting to see other people’s version of the same model and take photos of the artwork created. The sharings are never compulsory, but often, I’ve found that the few that didn’t want to share initially, found something of their work to show, even just me, and that is a privilege. 

Materials:

Please bring our preferred drawing materials and sketchbooks. There is good quality drawing paper for sale if you run out, and a limited amount of drawing boards to borrow for the session. 

The timings are roughly as follows:

2 minute continuous movement

10 second poses (for 2 minutes) 

3 x 2 minutes

3 x 5 minutes

7 minutes

10 minutes

15 minute break

5 minute warm up

Whatever we've got left of the hour until 9pm
