The atmosphere is usually quiet and tranquil and the people are generally pretty chilled out. Life drawing often becomes quite meditative, so it makes sense that the sessions are relaxed affairs. The poses get longer and you do one long one (maybe 40-60 minutes at the end).
What to bring with you?
The basic life drawing starter kit would include some decent pencils or sticks of willow charcoal, a rubber, it’s a good idea to bring a board or use a sketchpad supported with good solid card, and a sharpener. More important is to not go with a small size paper (A3 is quite small for drawing).
