If you’re looking to add a creative twist to your trip to Palma, this Human Drawing class might just be the perfect activity. It offers a chance to get hands-on with figure drawing, regardless of your artistic experience, and gets you engaged in a fun, relaxed setting right in the middle of Palma’s historic streets.
What we really like about this experience is the opportunity to practice observing and capturing the human form in a lively environment, plus the supportive guidance from an instructor who speaks English. There’s also something satisfying about leaving with a set of sketches you can be proud of.
A potential consideration is that the class involves some partially clothed models, which might not be suitable for everyone, especially if you prefer more conservative settings. Also, the two-hour format means it’s a quick burst of creativity — perfect if you’re on a tight schedule but maybe less ideal if you’re craving a more in-depth art course.
This drawing experience suits travelers who enjoy creative activities, those curious about figure drawing, or anyone looking for a unique cultural activity in Palma. Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone looking to refine your skills, you’ll find value here.

The Drawing Environment and Setup

Set in the lively atmosphere of Palma’s Old Town, the studio or location used for the class offers a charming backdrop, likely with plenty of natural light — ideal for sketching. The instructor, speaking English, guides participants through various exercises, from quick gesture sketches to more detailed work, depending on your comfort and skill level.
One thing worth noting from reviews is that the model’s poses are specifically chosen to help you practice different aspects of figure drawing, such as gesture, anatomy, and expression. You’ll learn techniques that help you capture movement and balance, which are always tricky but satisfying to get right.
Who Will Get the Most Out of This Experience?
If you’re an absolute beginner, this class is a great introduction — the instructor will give you tips on observing and sketching, which are skills useful well beyond this class. If you have some experience, it’s a chance to refine your technique and practice observing subjects more carefully.
Travelers interested in art, culture, or just trying something different will find this activity both engaging and rewarding. It’s especially appealing if you enjoy creative pursuits or want to see Palma through a different lens—literally.
Note that, since the class involves models and a studio environment, it might not be ideal for children under 18, and you should be comfortable with the partial nudity aspect.
The Itinerary and Experience Breakdown

Each pose is carefully planned to help you practice different skills: some are quick gestures to capture movement, others are longer to work on anatomy and details.

Participants have shared positive comments about the instructor’s supportive style and how the class felt accessible, even for those with no prior experience. One reviewer mentioned, “I loved the way the instructor guided us without making us feel judged,” which sums up the welcoming vibe.
