Monthly Live Model Sessions in the Gallery 2023
Monthly open drawing and painting live model sessions in the Gallery
Artists are invited to join us in-person in the gallery for sketching, drawing, painting and rendering from a live clothed model. Open to artists of all skill levels, these sessions are self-guided and intended to provide time and space for members of our local community to share in this art practice. Participants must supply their own rendering materials.
