About this Event
Sip & Draw
Curious about drawing in the nude? Don't worry, you get to keep your clothes on.
Join us for an inspiring evening of nude figure drawing in a welcoming, creative atmosphere. Whether you're an experienced artist or picking up a pencil for the first time, we invite you to explore the art of figure drawing in a relaxed, expressive, and engaging space.
Featuring a male model thoughtfully posed and illuminated with intention, each session offers a unique opportunity to study the human form, refine your artistic skills, and connect with your creativity.
Our instructor-led sessions are beginner-friendly, and all artistic mediums and experience levels are welcome!
Best of all? All drawing materials and one complimentary drink are included with your ticket! Come thirsty for creativity (or just a little something to sip on). Food will also be available for purchase.

New to Figure Drawing?
Beginners are absolutely welcome!
No previous drawing experience is necessary. Our instructor will help guide you through the process, whether you're learning the basics of figure drawing or looking to refine your existing skills.
We've got the goods (the art supplies, that is)! All drawing materials, including paper, pencils, and easels, are provided with your ticket. You're also welcome to bring your favorite art supplies if you prefer working with your own materials.
Just bring your creativity, curiosity, and an open mind!
Etiquette & Guidelines
We are committed to maintaining a respectful, comfortable, and artistically focused environment for our models and guests.
- Artists Only: This is an active figure-drawing workshop, not a spectator event. All attendees are expected to participate in drawing.
- Respect Our Models: Models are professional artists and collaborators who deserve courtesy, privacy, and respect at all times.
- No Photography or Recording: Photos, videos, livestreaming, and audio recording are strictly prohibited. Anyone found recording or photographing the session will be asked to delete the material and leave immediately.
- Supplies Are On Us: All drawing materials are included, but feel free to bring your own favorite tools.
- Model Compensation: All models are paid in full. Tipping is never required, though additional appreciation is always welcome.
Come Draw With Us!
Step outside the ordinary and experience an evening where art, inspiration, and the beauty of the human form come together.
Whether you're here to sharpen your skills, discover a new creative outlet, or simply enjoy the experience of drawing from life, Bare Aesthetic offers a space to slow down, observe, sip, and create.
Come for the art. Stay for the inspiration. And maybe a little eye candy. 😉
