Variety might be the spice of life, but it seems that alcohol helps spark creativity — at least where Brisbane's art classes are involved. So far this year you've been able to paint a picture in the middle of the Night Noodle Markets, whip up a portrait of your own pet, head to the city's permanent boozy studio and its new pop-up, and partake in any number of other combinations of watercolours, pastels and plonk. Now, you can also sketch live models with a beer in your hand.
Milton dive bar The Scratch is putting on the brew-fuelled session from 10am–12pm on Sunday, October 7, with local artist Aaron Micallef overseeing the class. You'll draw the human form, using nude life models as your guide, and the $20 fee also includes a pot of beer or cider.
Yes, Life Drawing and Beer is basically your high school art class — just with an alcoholic beverage — and spaces are limited. There'll be a number of art boards supplied, but it's best to bring your own supplies. The Scratch, obviously, will supply the beer.
