We’re really excited to announce that Northern Realist Life Drawing is back this year in collaboration with Blue & Berry Gallery, bringing you Classical Life Drawing Sessions with long poses.
A long pose lasting the entire session will give you the chance to work from a model over a longer period than is often possible in life drawing sessions.
The sessions are not taught although there is always friendly advice on hand if you'd like a bit of help or feedback. All you need bring along is whatever you want to work with and lots of enthusiasm.
The gallery will be open from 7:00pm if you want to arrive early to get set up, positions and easels are available on a first come, first served basis.
One of the goals of Northern Realist and Blue & Berry is to create a hub for like minded artists to meet, swap ideas and see different techniques being used while pushing their own abilities. These life drawing sessions offer a great way to do this.
Everyone is welcome and if you are interested in studying with Northern Realist, these sessions are a great opportunity to get an idea of what’s on offer.
Spaces are limited so advanced booking is recommended.

About Kim Smart
Movement and energy is prominent in Kim's work. Her inspiration is taken from the constantly changing natural environment, sound and moving image. Kim has a wonderful ability to transform the movement and energy she sees in the world around her into paintings that replicate and mirror this fluidity. Organic and botanical elements appear to move as you look at Kim's work reminding you of the natural world evoking feelings of calm.
Originating from a ceramic design background, Kim Smart is a Cheshire based artist who’s work is characterised by bright palettes and hundreds of intricate reflections, inviting the viewer to constantly think beyond the usual boundaries of art.
Her paintings always have storytelling at the heart of each piece. She conveys everyday experiences with abstract botanical & floral inspirations.
Today her vibrant collection of paintings create a tranquil & positive perspective of the world, harnessing the calming effects of nature and nostalgia whilst staying true to the qualities of traditional still life.
