Life drawing Living room
Tuesday 7 September 2021, 7pm to 9pm,
Tuesday 14 September 2021, 7pm to 9pm.
In-person and online via Zoom.
Payment by donation – suggested £5 for students or unwaged, £10 otherwise.
Join me in my living room in Brockley, London for an evening of life drawing and chat. Each week we’ll have a different model, or sometimes I’ll be your model and tell you a story or two. Perhaps you’ll want to be drawn too, share a memory, or quietly sit and make marks.
After a long break throughout the pandemic, having made only a small number of online events, I am very excited to be returning to some real life action with Spirited Bodies! A small number of artists will be able to join me in living room, whilst others around the world will be able to watch, listen and draw online via Zoom.
For those interested in attending in-person:
- drawing materials and refreshments will be available, or bring your own
- unfortunately my place is not wheelchair accessible, being upstairs in an old house
- the session is open to all, from teenagers up
- booking is required as places are limited places
- if you feel unwell, please do not come
- to book, email info.spiritedbodies@gmail.com – this is essential
- pay your donation via my PayPal account at paypal.me/EstherBunting
- if you are unable to pay via PayPal, please let me know
For those interested in attending online:
- you can either email me at info.spiritedbodies@gmail.com and pay what you can afford via my PayPal account at paypal.me/EstherBunting, or you can buy a ticket through EventBrite where the price is set automatically at £5
- I will send out the Zoom link just a few days before each session
After I’ve been your model for the first session, I will look forward to having different professional models in each week. We’re starting with 3 sessions but hope to add more. There will be an element of multi-model poses from time to time, with some people who draw, and who are in my living room with me, enjoying the chance to be drawn as well. The invitation to try life modelling is for those aged 18 or over, otherwise parental consent is suggested, or modelling clothed.
Conversations during the sessions will be wide ranging. They may include:
- our relationships with our bodies and minds, and how that has changed over time
- how our lives and priorities have altered in the last year
- isolation and connection with the natural world
- fears and ambitions for the future
- memories and insights
Let me know if you have any questions. I hope to see you soon!
The drawing below, by Sarah Davis, is from a recent event for the Barber Institute online, where I posed with fellow model Peter in his studio.

Thank you Darling, please invite me when you’re thinking of Spanish Spirited Bodies; I would love to be there too!! Perhaps we could have a translated version of the site… probably wordpress do it automatically. Lots of love xxx

thanks Philip – are you Naked Splendour star? If so we love your show, if not then who? Best wishes from fellowess models
Do you mind if I quote a couple of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your site?
My blog is in the very same niche as yours and
my visitors would really benefit from some of the information you provide here.
Please let me know if this okay with you. Thank you!
Hi there, that sounds fine. Do send a link to your blog please. Thank you
These events sound great! Do you guys ever branch out from London? I’m from Edinburgh, but would love to go to one of your events.
Hi Chloe, we did come to Edinburgh and Glasgow a couple years ago, but it’s quite a lot of logistics to juggle so not on the cards right now. Would love to return however some time. Perhaps you can join us in London meanwhile?
Hi
Interested in participating in the mixed event on 23rd July – sounds very liberating

Hi Nicholas, it would have been lovely to see you again, however it looks like all places for men are already taken. I will let you know if that changes.
All the best, Esther
Hi Esther
So good to hear from you too – been a long time ! Too long – really enjoyed my previous session with the group – so fantastically liberating the nudity and the free expression and friendliness & love amongst everyone there – participants and drawers /sketchers too
Yes if any places come up that would be lovely – if not no worries – and please if poss book me on your next event
Kind regards
Nicholas
