What to Expect
This is not your traditional life drawing class. We move away from perfection and focus on creative freedom, experimentation, and play.

-
Continuous line drawing
-
Expressive mark-making
-
Pointillism and abstract styles
Expect great music, glowing visuals, and a fun, welcoming atmosphere.
As featured in Time Out:
“It might look like a Full Moon party, but this evening of
sketching is an experiment in light, colour, and texture…
Trippy.”
The Experience
Neon Naked blends UV lighting, reactive body paint, and bold styling to create a fully immersive and inspiring environment. Each session features a series of short poses, with guidance throughout if you’d like it.
Perfect for:
-
Unique nights out
-
Dates
-
Birthdays
-
Hen parties
-
Work socials

Neon Naked Life Drawing
Neon Naked redefines life drawing through an immersive UV experience, injecting vibrant energy into the traditional. Its evolution spans over 6 years, surpassing 1000 classes, and now stands as a weekly event in various London locations.
Originating from the creative mind of Jylle Navarro, once a fashion designer, now a visionary artist, Neon Naked finds its roots in experimental knitwear, a deep exploration of colours, and innovative creative direction. Jylle's artistic journey progressed as she completed her MA in Art and Science at Central Saint Martins. Here, she specialized in light-reactive materials, immersive installations, and conceptual performances, solidifying Neon Naked's position as a unique and captivating artistic venture.
