Drawing Straws (November): Life Drawing at the Butterfly Club

Down the little alley way Carson Place, just off Little Collins Street in the Melbourne CBD is The Butterfly Club.

In The Butterfly Club you can hang out and look at all the knick-knacks they have all over the place, you can see a play or join the glee club, OR on a Tuesday night you can partake in some Burlesque Life Drawing.  

Welcome to Drawing Straws..

 So it costs a minimum of $15, but you can give a little bit more and the proceeds go to the model you have that night.

The class starts with a few warm up drawing exercises to get you warmed up and ready to draw.

There is a short break then the model arrives and does her Burlesque routine for the class.

Then the drawing begins.

 There are several poses, standing lasts for 5 mins and sitting lasts for 10 mins.

In that time you produce whatever kind of drawing you can.

 

Then there is a final reclining pose which you get 20 mins to complete.

No matter if you can really draw or not it's still a fun Tuesday night activity and the upstairs bar is open to wet your whistle while you draw away.
