Sorry folks, my bad, Erwin’s sessions are actually on Wednesdays, not Thursdays. Not sure how I made that mistake as I even had his session info on the Wednesday page. Go figure.

A model update all over the place
Greetings all!
This coming Monday over at UWA we’ll be having in the living statue herself, Xanthea, along with newish to Perth from Canada, Bonnie (I say newish as she was modelling down in Margaret River for a couple of months).
On Sunday, the Drawing School will be having in the lovely Jodie. Even though she is new to the field of life modelling, was actually able to hold her own with quite well with the pro Jane when we had the two of them in a few weeks ago.
Speaking of Sunday, Erwin has informers me that he is no longer running his sessions on Sundays. That being said, his Thursday night sessions are starting back up this coming Thursday (the 14th) with the start time of 6:30pm. The model he’ll be having that night is the always awesome Martha. For those of you looking for a session with longer poses, you should certainly check them out (all the details are on the Thursday page).
Happy drawing, people!
Quick update before a big weekend
Greetings all, just a quick update as to our model on Monday, which is Aya!
And if any of you are around the UWA Nedlands campus over the weekend (you know, the place where we do our drawing), then stop on by The ALVA Hub to see this year’s 24 Hour Comic Day Perth event happening. It’s my sixth or so year running it (ninth taking part), so I’m sure I’ll be asleep for most of the drawing session on Monday.
Have a good weekend everyone!
Drawing event in Bassendean for the Queen’s Birthday.
sorry about the super late update with this folks, but if any of you are looking for something to do tomorrow, why not attend a life drawing marathon in Bassendean?
Have a look at the flyer below for all the details:
A model update and a session on a holiday
Greetings all,
Tomorrow night (the 21st), we’ll be having Victoria in for the evening.
The following week (the 28th) will be a holiday session, and Jules has been awesome enough to yes to running the session. For that night we’ll be having Amy in for the evening. Please not that there will be no coffee or tea on this night as Jules will not be able to access the urn which we use for this. My apologies to everybody for that.
Cheerio!
A model update and a heck of a lot of news about town
Greetings all!
There is a lot of news to cover this week, so I will just quickly let everyone know that Nin will be our model for this coming Monday (the 14th) at UWA. The session may start a few minutes late to allow for him to make it over from work.
Next, it looks like my loyalty card idea is really taking off with two other groups having cards having systems of their own!
First is the Drawing School with Tracey, which is happening again tomorrow evening (the 13th) with the wonderful Martha as their model. Remember that through till the end of September (so the next two sessions) you can also get the card from my own sessions stamped.
Secondly is Thursday nights at The Art Space Collective, which now have their own loyalty card (though I need to look into if this replaces the bring a friend and pay $5 less system that they had before). Through till the end of September, head on out and get yourself a stamp for my own group too at the same time. And you really should go as this coming Thursday they have the fabulous Hayley who is virtually unavailable anymore due to her allowing her work and life to take over her schedule of modelling.
Combine these two with Sebastian’s Tuesday night group at Mt. Hawthorn which you can get stamps at up till the end of September, and those things really add up! Come on people, the seasons they are a changing so now is a good time to get out there! Don’t have a Monday night @ UWA card? Then come on out for a session and pick one up!
Speaking of Thursdays (well, two paragraphs back), Ray’s sessions at his studio in Craigie have moved from Thursday to Friday mornings 10-1. I’ll be updating the Thursday and Friday pages soon to reflect this, plus the fact he has a model coming in from over seas for a limited engagement.
And last but not least, one of our former models (who is dearly missed) and absolutely amazing portrait artist, Tess, is having a group exhibition opening soon. For a preview head to tessamconie.com.au. Details:
- Opens: Friday 2nd October @ 6pm
- Exhibition runs from the 3rd Oct – 2nd Nov, 2015
- Heathcote Museum & Gallery, 58 – 60 Duncraig Rd Perth, WA
Man that was a lot. Get out there and keep drawing (naked) people!

A model update and a change in format for a week
Greetings all!We had a crazy busy night last Monday. Super crazy. Which was great to see. Especially as we had an impromptu clothed session with Nicola gracing us with her Wonder Woman costume and a burlesque outfit, alongside Molly who is seven months pregnant (we may try to get her in one more time before she is due).
This coming Monday (the 1st) we’ll be having in Leah, who haven’t had in in awhile now.
The following week we’ll be having something a bit different. Two models, Jane plus newcomer Jodie (who just recently joined the scene from what I understand, but takes part in a great deal of cabaret dancing). One will be clothed for the first hour while the second is nude, then vice-versa for the second hour. We’ll also be trying a different format time-wise. For the first hour the format will be: 2x5min, 3x10min, 1x20min. Then we’re going to repeat that for the second hour as well. Let’s see how that works out!
A reminder that the Drawing School is on again this Sunday (look at the Sunday tab for all the info)!
And one last reminder that the Tuesday night at Curtin has switched rooms (Tuesday tab for all the info).
Happy drawing everyone!

New room for Curtin
hello everyone, just sending a quick update that the Curtin group on Tuesday nights has changed rooms, effective immediately (so yes, that includes tonight’s session)!
The new location is Building 202, Room 139.
Figure Drawing at The Art Space Collective
One last reminder that I’m running a Figure Drawing workshop over four Saturdays starting 22nd August at The Art Space Collective (80A Scarborough Beach Rd, Scarborough). There are two spaces left!
To sign up for find out more, head on over to their site. (it’s under the ‘Book a class’ option.)
Monday night @ UWA and Sunday with a statue
Greetings all, at the Monday night UWA sessions coming up we have Travis in next week (the 17th), and the following week we’ll be having a double female session with Nicola and Molly (who will be 33 weeks at that point, so this will be the last time we have her in for a very long time I’m sure).
This coming Sunday (the 16th) at the Drawing School, they’ll be having in the living statue, Xanthea, who will be starting off nude and slowly dress in her statue attire during the session. This sounds awesome, and not to be missed. And just a reminder that if you head out to any of the Sunday sessions at the Drawing School till the end of September, you’ll get a stamp towards my sessions on Monday nights (for those who do not know, I have a frequent drawer card, when you come out to five sessions you get the sixth free, so this way you can double dip… actually triple dip as you can also get them if you head to the Mt Hawthorn sessions on Tuesday nights).
Happy drawing everybody!
