About this Event
Interested in trying figure drawing for the first time or brushing up on your skills? Join us at NUMU for our monthly, self-guided figure drawing sessions! Each session will take place in our Flick Drawing Studio with a live model, easels, newsprint paper, and pencils. You are welcome to bring additional materials.
We will begin each two-hour session warming up with two and five-minute poses, followed by ten and twenty-minute poses. There will be a scheduled break midway through the session. All experience levels are welcome, but please note this is an uninstructed session. This is an opportunity to draw a live model and to connect with peers. A NUMU staff member will be present to facilitate the timing of the model’s poses.
This session uses a nude model.
Doors will be locked for the duration of the session, starting promptly at noon. Please arrive by 11:45 AM
Skill Level: Beginners+
Ages: 18+
Materials included: Newsprint paper, pencils, easels, stools, drawing horses
Optional materials to bring: Sketch pad, drawing pencils, charcoal, pastels, etc.
