I have been going to life drawing at Vouts for three years and enjoy the informal atmosphere, music, model quality and the mix of seriousness of intent with comfort and welcoming good humour. The venue is idiosyncratic with a warm somewhat surreal character and a lively mix of regulars. Sophie P is arch hostess with raised eyebrow and lively opinions.

the life drawing class always has wonderful models to draw and with inspiring poses. There is always great music as a backdrop. It is a great class I couldn't think of a better way to spend a Tuesday evening - you are transported to a talented creative world with great ambiance, wonderful people full of art and literature and fun.

In a beautiful, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere I enjoy doing several timed sketches while enjoying a glass of fine wine.

Great atmosphere with lovely fellow students. A much needed brain massage. Non judgmental creative spirit.

Vout-O-Reenee is the Salon des Refuses, pour les refuses. Eye to brain to hand is the root of good art. Life drawing is the key; here it is.

Wonderful environment (like no other), models & people - what's not to love, if you wish to attend a life-drawing session in a totally unique convivial environment, you can't do better.

The relaxed and unique atmosphere of Vout’s gets the creative juices flowing. One of the few life drawing venues where you feel you are among friends who love to share techniques and actually look at each other’s work! Sophie Parkin runs a great class and her choice of models is superb.

Really great class, very informal and relaxed and in a beautiful setting. Ill definitely be back.
Sophie - 3 November 2017
Fab and fun class! Great venue, good range of art materials and a bar at hand with organic french wine as the champion (for me atleast). Not much direction which meant your artistic side had to flare up itself. Will be booking this Obby class again for sure!
