OPEN DRAWING
Our Open Drawing sessions provide a valuable opportunity for artists of all skill levels to work from a live model in a structured studio environment. A monitor is present to set the poses, keep time, and ensure a prompt start. Easels, stools, and drawing horses are available for use. Attendees are responsible for bringing their own art supplies.
Figure model sessions feature nude male and female models; models will be clothed for portrait sessions.
Sessions last three hours, and are $20 per session.
Register and pay online, or drop-ins may pay in cash at the door.
Fall Open Studio sessions will start the week of October 2, 2023.
Sessions will be held in the Stobart Studio and we suggest using the north parking lot for closest access.
