Life Drawing and Portrait Drawing

At our art school in Cologne-Ehrenfeld, we regularly offer open portrait and life drawing sessions from a model. You do not need to attend our classes to participate; everyone is welcome.

  • There are drawing chairs, easels, and drawing boards available.
  • A stage with well-lit models is provided.
  • The atelier opens 10 minutes beforehand.
  • Enjoy cozy music, a sofa, and sometimes even a dog!

Open Figure Drawing costs €15, and sessions with instruction are €30.
If a session you’re registered for has to be canceled, you will receive an email.

New opening time: 6:30 pm!

Open Figure Drawing

No instruction, you work independently. Fridays alternate between portrait and figure sessions from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM. On the second Sunday of each month, there’s a model session from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
For portrait sessions, the model is seated and clothed. For figure sessions, the model is nude unless otherwise specified.
You can draw or paint. Please bring your own materials, as none will be provided!

Life Drawing – FAQ

Can I arrive late or leave early?

Yes, that’s not a problem. If 3 hours are too long for you can come later or leave early.

Can I also do short drawings during long poses?

If there is enough space you change your spot during the breaks.

Will the session take place?

If the date is listed above and does not say “canceled,” it will take place.

Will I get my money back if I can’t make it to the session?

Unfortunately, we cannot issue refunds for payments. If you cancel at least 24 hours before the appointment via email or WhatsApp, you’ll receive a voucher.
For cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance, the ticket must still be paid for, or one session will be marked off on a 10-session card, even if you don’t attend.
