OPEN STUDIO FIGURE DRAWING

Our Open Studio 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, sculpture stands, and drawing horses are available for use. Attendees are responsible for bringing their own art supplies.

Please note: Figure model sessions feature nude male and female models; models will be clothed for portrait sessions.
