PULP - POP UP LIFE PENRITH
_edited.jpg)
PULP is part of the GoFigure Group and are life drawing sessions for artists to undertake all day drawing/painting from life, including portraiture.
Following initial warm up poses, there will be a single pose lasting for the rest of the day. This will enable artists to undertake an in-depth study from life. Those artists wishing to do more than one piece, moving around the model is encouraged. To enable everyone to have adequate views of the model, numbers of attendees will be limited.
​
The Venue is - Stainton Village Hall - CA11 0EP

Fees - £20 per day
​
In order that costs are kept as low as possible, fees will need to be paid in advance and attendees will be encouraged to book a number of events in advance. This advance booking will allow clarity in respect of numbers attending, so that models and venues can be booked with certainty.
​
If there is enthusiasm for this life art opportunity the plan would be to continue with further PULP events in the autumn.
​
In order to make the events viable, once a booking has been confirmed, a refund would not normally be considered.
