Meet others who are interested in drawing or painting the figure. We'll try to host a variety of figure drawing sessions, including different venues, different times, and different types of modeling.

We now seem to have 3 different groups that are working out. All are on Saturdays currently. We need to try some weekday evenings next, probably Wednesday or Thursday.

I'm thinking of trying something new... "do it yourself" hosting. Basically anyone who has any space they can offer, even if it can holds only a couple of artists, could host a session. As the host, of course, you would not have to pay a fee. There are also some volunteer models availabel on here, so you could potentially just have a session with a few of your friends at no cost.

Anyone want to try out this concept? If so drop me a line!

Thank you!

Virgil

    "I'm actually a math/accounting person by specialty who has a passion for drawing and painting. It's been a serious semi professional avocation for me for some time. I mostly focus on landscapes but figures are often part of those imaginary landscapes"
