WOMEN – A life drawing session celebrating International Women’s Month

On March 15th, I attended a special life drawing class hosted by Ahlex Leyva – a Sydney-based Filipino dancer and life-model. She was joined with models, Tori Addams, Lunne, and Lilly Joly. It was exceptionally well-run with a good range of movement and poses from each of the models and more importantly – a range of body types to keep an artist like me challenged and focused!

Ahlex warmed up the room with a series of short, 1 minute poses, before handing the stage over to Tori, Lilly and Lunne, who each did a more traditional 5, 10 and 15 minute pose each. The session ended with a short performance of slow movement by Ahlex, before they all posed in an ensemble for 20 minutes.
