Popular Life Drawing Classes Return to Ararat Gallery TAMA
Ararat Gallery TAMA has released the 2025 schedule for its popular Life Drawing class series, with the first event to be held later this month.
The two-hour classes are led by celebrated multidisciplinary artist and Stawell local Bev Isaac, who will guide attendees through timed warm-up and extended exercises and techniques to capture the human form. Bev will provide instruction and support throughout each class.
Easels, drawing boards, butchers paper and charcoal, chairs, and tables are all provided, and attendees are also welcome to bring their favourite drawing materials to use. All abilities are welcome and no prior experience is required, though attendees must be ages 18 and over (exemptions are available for VCE art students – contact TAMA for details).
There are 10 places available in each class, and bookings open three weeks before each date. Use the link below to sign up for the Thursday 27 March session now.
Subscribers to the Gallery mailing list will get an early notification when bookings for each date open. Sign up to the mailing list.
“Don't let the nerves of inexperience hold you back from attending TAMA’s Life Drawing sessions,” says Ararat Rural City Council Mayor, Cr Jo Armstrong. “Rather than perfect representation, these classes are about seeing differently, observing deeply, and finding your own unique way of capturing the human form. We’re thrilled to have the wonderful Bev Isaac on board to guide these sessions, which are part of TAMA’s extensive and exciting workshop program for the year.”
