Sunday, March 22,      1pm – 3:30pm,   with model – no instruction

Each Sunday is an independent session — this is not a class and does not build directly on the previous session(s). You can come to none, one or each session. We are offering them to our members to practice drawing/painting the human figure from a variety of angles.

Usually we start with some short warm-up sketching to get a feel for the proportions.  It’s good to bring some not-important paper like the backside of a not-so-good painting. Everyone brings their own drawing and painting materials. It is good to arrive a few minutes early to set up your painting station and so that we can start on time.

After a few short poses the model holds longer poses, 15-20 minutes, so everyone can work on more details or shading in those longer poses, or does a quick sketch in pencil on watercolor paper and add watercolor. It is up to each member either to draw the whole time, to draw and later paint or paint the whole time – you are in charge of your time and painting.

We meet at the New Art Center from 1pm to 3:30pm; there will be beverages and snacks offered in the breaks. The cost for each session for members is only $10. Large tables are available to share with another artist, but you can also bring your own easel as the room is large. The room is well heated and there are plenty of parking spots available.
