Davis Figure Drawing Group 5.00 5.002

This group is for both experienced artists and amateurs to have an opportunity to draw from the nude model. If you have never drawn from the model before and would like to join us, you are very welcome! People of all skill levels are welcome and encouraged to join the group.

I started a figure drawing group in August of 2009 at The Natsoulas gallery here in Davis. It was successful at first, but attendance began to drop off after I closed the Meetup site. The gallery owner was going to promote the sessions but time and resources did not allow him to do this. Now, after moving the group to The Pence Gallery and reinitiating the Meetup site our attendance has been overwhelming.

The new venue is the Pence Gallery at www.pencegallery.org, and our sessions will be held on the 2nd and 4th wednesday of every month beginning wednesday November 11th and wednesday November 25th from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm.

To spare their carpets, the Pence would prefer that no wet media (oil, acrylic, watercolor) be used. They have been generous enough to let us meet in their gallery, so we would like to pay them the courtesy of leaving the space as we found it.

The cost is $12 per person. If the group is cancelled, your money will be refunded. If you cannot make the group and give me at at least 24 hours notice (preferably more), I will refund your money.

If you don't wish to pay online, you may also prepay in cash for the upcoming session or for the month (both sessions) at the front desk of The Pence. For hours and directions you can call The Pence at: (530) 758-3370 or visit www.pencegallery.org. We keep track of RSVPs at The Pence separately from those on the site, so don't worry about RSVPing on the site if you have prepaid at The Pence. Only Paypal RSVPs are listed on the site.

SPACE IS LIMITED!

Be sure to RSVP on the Meetup site or prepay at The Pence to reserve your space. if we have reached the maximum number of people we can take, your money will be refunded.
