Life drawing Maxine at Berlin Stripper Collective Life Drawing Jan 6 2020 by Suzanne Forbes 11Life drawing with strippers is the best idea!

This brilliant idea was conceived by UK group East London Strippers’ Collective. Creative sex workers in Berlin decided to do it too!

L at Lydias from 2017 fin Dec 31 2019 by Suzanne ForbesI finally finished up a bunch more of these drawings of Berlin life drawing muses E & L.

E & L, aka Rosiichbinnackt, no longer do life modeling so I was damn lucky to draw them! That’s L above; I just drew her twice 😉

E and L at Lydias 2 from 2017 fin Dec 31 2019 by Suzanne ForbesYou can see the previous posts from these wonderful community drawing sessions here and here.

E and L at Lydias 2 from 2017 fin Dec 31 2019 by Suzanne ForbesThe sessions were hosted by Lydia Schuchmann and Flavia Scuderi, two immensely talented professional working artists.

E and L at Lydias 3 from 2017 fin Dec 31 2019 by Suzanne ForbesI wish you could see all the other drawings that were made there, there were some terrific draughtspeople!

Eli at Lydias from 2017 fin Dec 31 2019 by Suzanne ForbesAnd it was at one of these drawing sessions that I borrowed a chalk marker from Lydia. Using white chalk markers has opened up my drawings so much!!
