Animal Croquis at Joella

At Gallery Joella, we will be drawing cats and dogs throughout the spring.

Please bring your own drawing materials and a small cash donation of a few euros for the models.
Note! No treats for the models—this helps us avoid possible allergic reactions.

When drawing animals, artists are expected to show more patience and adaptability than usual, following the models’ lead. The models change their poses quite independently.

In the spring season series, our models include both cats and dogs. At the first session, cats will take over the space (Instagram @villitviikset), and at the second session, the stage will be taken by Hertta and Johnny, experienced dog models (Instagram @herttanen_maailma).

The event is open to everyone.
No advance registration required.
Maximum drawing time: 1.5 hours.

A warm welcome to all! Space is limited to approximately 15–20 people.
Entrance through the shop door. The gallery door will be kept closed because of the animals.

We collect a small donation for the animals as a thank-you—please bring a few euros in cash. Thank you!
