MCA's Sundown Sketch Deluxe

Overview

The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia is rolling out a new winter art workshop program. Inspired by the gallery's popular Sundown Sketch Club, these two-hour Wednesday evening sketching workshops will led by Sydney-based artist Will French, and take place once a month in June, July and August.

The classes will focus on still life and nude drawing, with participants using a range of fine art materials and getting a few tips from French along the way. The ever-changing installation will include a model alongside the rather specific ingredients of fresh grapes, white flowers, juicy pears, brioche, hazelnuts and almonds. The evening will be capped off with nibbles, cheese, a glass of Champagne from sponsor Ruinart and a backdrop of Sydney Harbour.

The first workshop will take place on June 14, with sessions following on July 19 and August 23. Tickets are $65 and beginners are welcome. Just make sure to book ahead as these events have sold out in the past.
