About this Event
Join us at Lemon Wedge Arts for an evening of drawing with a live figure model. Our models may be clothed or nude, or anywhere in between. The session is uninstructed, but led by a monitor (and usually our studio owner, who teaches most of the classes). All levels of artistic skill are welcome.
Format: Poses start out short, with gesture poses of 5 minutes or less, and increase in length up to 15 and 20-minute poses as the session progresses. 5-minute breaks are usually taken every 20 minutes.
We have seating, including regular wooden chairs, a couch, high-boys, stools, and floor cushions on the floor level, as well as on a riser. Our model is on a stage with directional lighting.
Bring your own drawing supplies, BYOB (if you like), and prepare to have a relaxed yet focused session of drawing shorter to longer poses with a group of fellow artistic explorers. This is not a "class", but more of an immersive opportunity to practice whatever observational drawing skills you may have, and develop them further in a support group setting.
We also offer multi-week drawing courses, which this session compliments well. Feel free to ask us about those when you come by for our evening drawing session!
If you enjoy the session, you are welcome to purchase 4 or more sessions for a discount. Inquire at the session about these options.
We look forward to seeing you!
