Join us for a relaxed and welcoming Quick Draw at Hudson Street Hum, guided by artist Jane Lander. Designed as a space to unwind, connect, and get creative, these sessions are all about the joy of drawing without pressure or expectation. Whether you’re picking up a pencil for the first time or returning to a long-loved practice, everyone is encouraged to join in.

Each session offers a mix of light structure and playful exploration—think quick warm-up exercises, themed prompts, and time to develop your own sketches. Jane guides the group, offering tips on observation, line, and composition, while keeping the atmosphere informal and social.

Expect a friendly environment where ideas are shared, skills grow naturally, and drawing becomes a way to slow down and engage with the world around you. Quick Draw is as much about community as it is about creativity. Come along, meet like-minded people, and enjoy the ritual of creativity.

Jane has an established practice with over 30 years experience. Her work is held in many collections including the Newcastle Art Gallery, Lake Macquarie City Art Gallery, Maitland Art Gallery, Muswellbrook Art Gallery and Broken Hill Art Gallery. Lander is the 2022 winner of the Newcastle Club Foundation Art Prize and has been a finalist in many national prizes including The Dobell Drawing Prize, The Blake Travelling Art Prize, The NSW Parliament Plein Air Painting prize and The Kilgour Art Prize. Jane holds a Bachelor of Teaching (secondary, visual arts).
