Life drawing paint and sip has become one of the most popular hens party ideas and for good reason

They’re fun, a little cheeky, and somehow manage to suit everyone in the group. Worried about Grandma? Don’t be. She won’t see anything she hasn’t seen before… and chances are she’ll be the one laughing the loudest.

Let the Drinks, Music & Laughter Flow

This isn’t your quiet, serious art class.

It’s music playing, champagne flowing, everyone having a laugh while attempting to create their own masterpiece. Some people surprise themselves… others create something that becomes an inside joke forever.

Either way, it’s all part of it.

What is Life Drawing?

Life drawing is the art of sketching the human body from a real, live model.

But this isn’t just a traditional life drawing class.

👉 It starts with drawing 👉 then builds into painting

Think of it as a mix between:

life drawing
and a cheeky nude paint & sip

You’ll ease into it with simple sketches, then take it up a level once everyone’s warmed up.

So… What Are You Actually Doing?

You’ll be working with a real nude model and art teacher through a mix of short poses, and guided activities, then painting your nude model.

It starts simple:

quick sketches of your nude model
fun activities
hens party games
getting eye full
having a laugh

Then builds into:

Painting your own version of the model

Adding colour, style, and personality.

No two pieces end up the same, and that’s exactly the point.

Is It Awkward?

Honestly… for about 30 seconds.

Then it turns into one of those:

“this is hilarious” “why didn’t we do this sooner” “this is actually really fun”

kind of experiences.

The model and host know exactly how to read the room and keep things light, comfortable and entertaining the whole way through.

What Actually Happens?

This is a 3-hour class, so there’s plenty of time to relax into it and actually enjoy the experience.

You’ll start with a fun intro from your art teacher, who will get the creative juices flowing with a few easy sketching activities focused on the human figure.

Nothing serious, just enough to get everyone warmed up and feeling confident.

Then we shift things up a gear.

👉 the paints come out 👉 the model takes position 👉 and you start creating your own painted version

So while it starts as life drawing…

👉 it quickly becomes a nude paint & sip style experience**

During the breaks:

👉 your model will run hens party style games 👉 there’ll be plenty of laughs and crowd interaction 👉 and yes… prizes are absolutely involved

It’s designed to feel more like a party than a class , just with a bit more creativity (and a bit less clothing).

A Little Bit Cheeky (In the Best Way)

Let’s be honest, part of the appeal is having a bit of a cheeky moment with your group.

It’s playful, lighthearted, and never awkward. The model and host keep things fun without ever pushing it too far.

Think:

👉 more laughter than anything else 👉 more fun than “raunchy” 👉 something everyone can enjoy
