Looking to improve and develop your drawing? Or make studies from the figure? Or simply love life drawing?
Sara Myers’ Saturday life drawing is a relaxed and friendly untutored life drawing group with professional models and lighting, set in our stunning main studio. Each event has a different model and theme carefully chosen to inspire and enhance your drawing skills.
AM - Yvette brings a huge creative energy to the class. This is a focus on short poses with great dynamism - longest pose is 15 minutes.
PM - Andy, our talented model, will join us, focusing in the afternoon on his stunning quick- to medium-length poses. Image courtesy of Polly Parrish.
Suitable for beginners and more experienced artists alike, working in various styles and media.
As a general rule these classes run two Saturdays in every month, either with morning and afternoon sessions which can be booked individually, or all day life drawing events.
“Sara’s is the best class I’ve experienced. Her approach to teaching and supporting her students allowed me to develop at my own pace while pushing me (gently) to try new approaches. Also, Yardley Arts is an amazing venue, far superior to that of any class I’ve been to, including a good university life drawing class.”

Sara apprenticed for a short time with well known figurative sculptors Edward Russell, Lorne Mckean and John Doubleday after which she went back to school studying Fine Art Sculpture in London, followed a little later by a Masters in New York.
As well as studying, Sara exhibited and worked in New York and had a studio in Harlem.
