Life Drawing at the Arding Rooms (Clapham Junction)

Life Drawing with Bella Franks

Join artist Bella Franks for an inspiring life drawing session exploring the traditional practise of drawing the human form.

Life drawing offers a rare opportunity to slow down and observe — to study perspective, line, tone, and colour while deepening your understanding of anatomy and expression. The familiar yet complex nature of the body makes it both a challenge and a joy to capture, helping to sharpen your artistic eye and strengthen your creative confidence.

Bella’s holistic approach to teaching art promotes the mindful quality of drawing, encouraging you to be fully present in the creative process. Throughout the class, you’ll receive expert tips and gentle guidance to help you build confidence and develop your own drawing skills.

Known for her warm, positive energy, Bella creates a welcoming and uplifting atmosphere where everyone is encouraged to enjoy the process, let go of perfection, and discover their own creative flow at the drawing board.
