Bren, founder and creative director of Pow Studio

Life drawing and art workshops

Bren teaches a regular Figure Drawing Course, Figure Fundamentals, at Nude Drink Draw in Tokwawan, Hong Kong. You can learn more about the Figure Fundamentals course here. Bren also teaches smaller workshops at POW Studio and also run drawing classes and life drawing workshops for corporate companies.

Bren is a knowledgeable and hands on teacher who carefully plans a curriculum of learning for his classes, ensuring complex subjects are presented in a way that is simple to understand and engaging. Bren then focusses on giving individual instruction and guidance to all students, ensuring feedback is tailored to the individual. With a proven skill of being able to explain complex subjects in a simple and accessible way, Bren believes effective classes are engaging and fun.

At POW Studio Bren prides himself on creating a safe and accessible non-judgemental space for all abilities and people from all backgrounds to come together and learn and develop their own drawing practice.

Thank you so much to Bren and NuDD for providing a welcoming figure drawing community and workshop series! I have no art background, so I especially appreciate Bren's teaching approach, with thoughtfully distilled tutorials and insights that made figure drawing so much more accessible. Each workshop, Bren spent time to come around to each person times to give tips, suggestions, and encouragement, all of which really helped my process. It was so exciting to see when the concepts would finally click and find their way to the page. I also appreciate how these lessons have made me view the world just a bit differently, and the sense of support and inspiration from all the workshop participants (and models!)

Learning to draw has many benefits. Drawing and observing our environment in a more deliberate and focussed way is a mindful activity that can with stress management. By learning to draw we learn to enhance our observational skills and concentration skills. Drawing is a form of demonstrating an understanding, and also a form of problem solving. By learning to draw can improve our creative problem solving skills, become better communicators, and improve our concentration. We also get to relax and practice mindfulness while focussing our attention away from a screen. There are many benefits to drawing!

Bren is happy to organise and facilitate corporate drawing events. These don't have to be run with a model if you prefer not to, we can organise props for still life or provide simple exercises for reducing stress in the workplace. Please get in touch if you would like a quote for a corporate drawing workshop!
