Make Sure You’ve Got Enough Space
You don’t need an art studio to host life drawing.
A lounge room, large dining area, covered patio or spacious Brisbane Airbnb can work brilliantly. What matters is having enough room for the model to pose somewhere central while everyone has a reasonably clear view.
Move coffee tables and unnecessary furniture out of the way before the session starts and arrange your group around the model.
Nobody wants to spend half the class drawing the back of someone else’s head.
Hosting At Home Or In An Airbnb?
Many Brisbane life drawing parties take place in private homes and Airbnbs.
As a guide, you’ll ideally want enough room for:
- The model and posing area
- Easels or drawing boards
- Seating for guests
- Space for guests to move around comfortably

Many of these venues also work beautifully for Drag & Draw, Life Drawing Paint & Sip, hens party workshops and other creative group activities. We’ve selected venues that offer plenty of room for drawing easels, model posing areas and group interaction.
