Social Drawing @ Paper Moon Coffee House

Please bring your own supplies! I will have spares on hand just in case you forget though :) Bad Art Group is all about letting you feel safe to create bad art without the fear of judgement. Sometimes we need to let ourselves make garbage art in order to bypass our perfectionistic tendencies! This group is about combining accessible creativity with socialisation and accountability. This meetup is specifically for **still life and observational drawing practice**. All skill levels are welcome of course, you don’t need to have technical skill, just a willingness to try and learn! **Paper Moon Coffee House** is a beautiful little café with many great spots to set up and do some drawing. I will either bring in a still life to prop up on a table for us all to attempt to draw, or we will just draw the environment around us. I am a self-taught artist who practices observational drawing often, so where needed I am happy to offer guidance to anyone looking to improve their practice 😊 This is a relaxed and friendly group who try not take things too seriously. Creativity should be fun and it is my mission to bring that experience to people of all skill levels. I believe we are at our best creatively when we feel safe and connected to the people and environment around us, so it is my hope to hold a space that fosters that connection for all walks of life. If you are introverted, a bit socially anxious, and perhaps haven’t been to a meetup before but LOVE to draw, I encourage you to let this be the meetup you step out of your comfort zone for. *Please support this gorgeous venue by treating yourself to a yummy drink or snack while you are there!* **Voluntary Fee** There is a voluntary group attendance fee to help cover the cost of hosting on Meetup. However, if you genuinely cannot afford to donate, that’s okay! Please still come along for free. It matters to me more to me that you benefit from the meetup, especially if you can’t afford to leave the house (I’ve been there). Donation amount is up to you, $2-$5 per session is a good range to aim for.
