Studio mates and past Archibald finalists Jasper Knight, Julian Meagher, Dean Brown and Oliver Watts are inviting Sydney’s art-enthusiasts and philanthropists to join them for a night of life drawing to support the work of the National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA).
Come get some tips from the pros, have a laugh and get a private tour of their Darlo studio. The artists will discuss their work and practice, go through some of the basics of drawing and do a demonstration.
'One of the things I like most about life drawing is the communal nature of it. Oliver, Jasper and I spent many of our teenage years together at life drawing classes. I'm looking forward to getting the band back together! Art can be a lonely pursuit so it is magical when you can bounce ideas and create work alongside your peers. NAVA plays a key role in our community and I think it is fitting to be able to support it in this way.’
