Neon Naked Life Drawing at Toulouse Lautrec, Kennington


Experience a vibrant and immersive life drawing workshop at Toulouse Lautrec, where glowing, body-painted models and UV-reactive materials transform traditional life drawing into something bold, playful, and expressive.


Dive into an afternoon of creative experimentation, drawing radiant life models using neon pastels, highlighters, and reactive materials in a relaxed, social setting.


These one-off special sessions at Toulouse Lautrec run either:

1:30 PM–3:00 PM or 3:30 PM–5:00 PM


Nearest stations: Kennington or Elephant & Castle



What to Expect


Neon Naked Life Drawing moves away from the perfectionist approach of traditional life drawing and instead focuses on creativity, freedom, and experimentation. You’ll explore a variety of image-making techniques — from continuous line drawing to pointillism — and be encouraged to loosen up and draw intuitively.


As featured in Time Out Magazine:

“It might look like a Full Moon party, but this evening of sketching is an experiment in light, colour, and texture. The models become ‘living sculptures’ covered in UV lights and reactive body paints. Trippy.”


Models are transformed into luminous, living sculptures through UV lighting, reactive body paint, and hand-crafted flamboyant accessories, creating a fully immersive visual experience.



The Session


You’ll work through a series of short poses (6–12 minutes), with different drawing styles explained at the start. Guidance is always available, and the atmosphere is friendly, relaxed, and welcoming.


All art supplies are provided, including pencils, paper, drawing boards, neon pastels, and highlighters — everything you need to make your artwork glow.


No prior experience is necessary. This session is perfect for:


  • A unique afternoon out

  • Creative dates

  • Catching up with friends

  • Birthdays

  • Hen parties


Private group hire is available when booked in advance. Contact jylle@neonnaked.com for more information.

Organiser

Neon Naked Life Drawing
Neon Naked redefines life drawing through an immersive UV experience, injecting vibrant energy into the traditional. Its evolution spans over 7 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.
