Gather materials

Gather Materials

Arrive, meet the group, and get set up at your station — paper, charcoal, pens and pastels all provided. Immerse the light.


Warm up with Mark making & quick sketch

Warm Up with Mark Making & Quick Sketch

Quick gesture drawings under shifting, atmospheric light ease you into the session.


Longer Figure study & collaborate

Longer Figure Study & Collaborate

A longer guided figure study, drawing from a live nude model.


This two-hour workshop lets the atmosphere lead and your hand follow; no experience required, just an open mind.
What to expect: The room is transformed by shifting, atmospheric light and a live nude model, easing you into a flow state as you draw, guided by mood and contrast. You'll warm up with quick gesture drawings, move into a longer guided study, then finish with a collaborative pair exercise and a relaxed group reveal — because the connections you make matter as much as the drawings you leave with.
Set inside a charming two-level art studio covered with Van Gogh-inspired murals both exteriorly and interiorly.
All materials are provided! Drawing board, paper, charcoal, pens, and pastels, plus a drink to unwind with afterwards or before, as you like.
Space is kept small to keep the room intimate, so it's worth booking ahead.
Please note before you book: this session includes live nude figure drawing, held in a respectful, focused studio environment. To help maintain that space, we kindly ask participants to keep phones away during the drawing session.
Hosted by local multidisciplinary artist EXZ, who specialises in new media light installation, mural, and mixed media. Her video art sets the scene for the session, supported by a soft art installation and ambient music.
What you'll get
  • An immersive drawing experience set inside shifting projected light
  • A set of your own drawings: quick gesture studies through to a longer, full-page figure study
  • The chance to explore different mediums and tools: watercolour, pastel, charcoal, or marker
  • A collaborative piece made together with another participant
Knowledge required
None — this is a beginner-friendly session that welcomes every level, from first-time sketchers to practiced artists.
What to bring
Nothing — all materials are provided.
Just bring yourself, a friend and your own drinks if you'd like

I’ve always had a creative streak, but my journey with A. M. Art Studio began almost serendipitously. After relocating to Melbourne, armed with over a decade of painting experience, I was invited by friends to teach them how to paint. During those early sessions, I discovered a profound passion for teaching. Their heartfelt reactions to what we created together revealed the transformative impact of art, not only as a personal expression but as a shared experience. That pivotal moment inspired me to dive deeper into my craft and ultimately led to the creation of my own art studio.
Teaching has since become one of the most rewarding aspects of my journey. I find immense joy in empowering others to express themselves and solve creative challenges through art. There’s something truly magical about guiding someone to uncover their potential and witnessing their growth firsthand.
In my spare time, I immerse myself in learning new techniques and exploring different artistic styles, which I then incorporate into my teaching. This commitment to continuous growth has allowed me to share my passion with over 600 students across Melbourne.
I’m always seeking opportunities to evolve and connect with others, and I’m thrilled to continue this creative journey with the vibrant A. M. Art Studio community.
