Practice your drawing skills in our popular figure drawing session! We have a wide range of models who pose for us to keep the subject fresh, diverse and inclusive. Models will be clothed in whatever way they choose. Over the years, we've included people from all walks of life, from college students and grandparents to burlesque dancers and pin-up models in full costume!

Each session will consist of a few quick gesture poses to get you warmed up, followed by several 15-30 minute poses. A short, 5-10 minute break during the session will be used for a gallery walk to view each other's work and share feedback and support. All levels welcome, no formal training is provided in this session. Ages 16 to adult. Feeling rusty? We've seen notable drawing improvement in just a few weeks... Practice makes progress!
