Calling All Glasgow Dog Owners: Could Your Pup Be a Life Drawing Model?

Are you looking for fun, unique things to do with your dog in Glasgow’s Southside?

If your four-legged companion loves being the centre of attention and chilling out in local pubs, they might just have a brand-new career ahead of them. I am launching a brand-new, casual Dog Life Drawing Night right here in the Southside of Glasgow, and I am officially on the hunt for our very first star models.

This isn't a traditional, serious art class. It’s a completely relaxed, informal evening bringing together local dog lovers, a premium spritz menu, and a table full of colourful pastels for a bit of creative fun.

The only thing missing from the picture? The dogs.

What I'm Looking For

I need local dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds to be the focus of our sketching sessions. Your pup doesn't need any special training, but they do need to fit a few simple criteria:

• People-lovers: They genuinely enjoy crowds and love being noticed.

• Unfazed by pub environments: They are perfectly happy, settled, and relaxed in a lively pub setting.

• Chilled out: They are content to sit, lie down, or have a snooze while a room full of people adoringly sketch them.

My Safety & Comfort Promise

The dog’s comfort is the absolute priority of these events. This is a completely informal night, so there is zero expectation for any dog to hold a rigid "pose."

The entire session is structured with plenty of moving room, lots of breaks, and a completely stress-free environment. Plus, as the owner, you will be right there with your pup the entire time to ensure they stay comfortable, happy, and thoroughly spoiled.

The Perks for You and Your Dog

To say a massive thank you for helping me kick off these community events, our star models and their owners will get treated to:

• Complimentary Drinks: Enjoy free drinks from the pub's premium spritz menu while you relax with your dog.

• Premium Treats: Plenty of high-quality snacks to keep your dog happy throughout the evening.

• An Art Print: You’ll get to take home a beautiful, high-quality art print from my own collection to hang proudly on your wall.

How to Apply

Spaces are strictly limited for the upcoming dates, so if you think your dog is ready for their artistic debut, I would love to hear from you!

1. A photo of your gorgeous dog.
