Trans Life Drawing with Elias Youssef

This service is for transgender, gender diverse, and nonbinary people. This session is strictly 18+.

About the session: Join Elias Youssef (they/he) for a two hour life drawing class. This class is suitable for beginners as well as practising artists. This is a tutored session, beginning with a short presentation and followed by guided instruction during the class, with the opportunity for individualised feedback. The models for this class represent a diverse range of bodies, including queer and trans bodies, which are traditionally underrepresented in life drawing spaces. All materials provided.

Their work involves classical themes and commentary around queerness. They teach regular life drawing workshop series at Pink Ember Studio in Coburg.
