The class is headed by exhibiting artist Danny Stanley and is a chance to learn techniques to capture anatomy, line and form.

Or just to try something new.

"Absolute beginners are more than welcome, we have regulars who have barely picked up a pencil before, right through to professional artists sharpening their skills," Stanley said.

"Everybody is there for their own personal art journey."

The class is aged 18 and above, as participants will draw the unclothed form directly from a model.

Artists should bring pencils, charcoal and paper in A4 and A3 format.

"To see a naked human body and analyse and mentally interact with it in a non-sexualised way is a beautiful thing," Mr Stanley said.

"I have seen at least one study which showed a positive correlation with improved body image in life drawers.

"We have mood music going through the poses, and a different regular brings in some wine and cheese each session for when we have a break where people can chat."

Cost is $27.50 and can be booked through Tamworth Regional Art Gallery, classes run on the last Wednesday of every month.
