Welcome to the Laidlaw’s Life Drawing

We offer open life drawing sessions for artists and beginners right outside of Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. These sessions are run by David (the scheduler!), Garth (the tech!), and Maggie Laidlaw (the baker!). We have moved to Nova Scotia in the last 5 years from Guelph, Ontario, where we’d previously run figure drawing sessions for a little over 8 years.

If you’d like to attend, the easiest way to do this is to reserve! This lets us know how many will be attending each session. We prefer reservations to ensure we have space, so please sign up below for an upcoming session to reserve your spot.

There will be a focus on longer, sustained poses, but we’ll begin with some short warm ups to get started.

  • One Sunday per month from 2-5 PM.

  • The next session will be November 10th from 2-5 PM
