At Dr. Sketchy we want life drawing to be more than just nude models and serious sketching.
So we've scoured this great city to find beautiful burlesque performers, bizarre circus acts, and rippling hunks of man-flesh.
Then we let them loose on stage to release the artist in you! In between each round of sketching our larger-than-life models you get a chance to grab a drink get comfortable and take in some of the finest burlesque, comedy, music, poetry and quirky cabaret performances the big smoke has to offer.
Dr Sketchy isn't about being an amazing artist, it’s about having fun and you might even win a prize! So don't be shy and put pencil to paper, move it around and see what happens – you might be surprised!
It's what art classes would be if the class was unleashed in the Moulin Rouge.
Dr Sketchy was founded in 2005 by artist Molly Crabapple in New York City. And is now an international phenomenon that takes place in 80 cities (and counting) around the world. To find our more about the original Dr. Sketchy and Molly Crabapple herself go to www.drsketchy.com
