We are a group of artists who love to draw the figure. We use this workshop as a way to improve our work and engage with other artists.

We draw from the figure, we look at each others' work, we learn, and we improve. We also have a good time doing it! The models usually do some short poses, and then a long pose, though we're flexible so the format can change depending on that day's group's needs.

We have two meetup locations. There weekly sessions in Williamsburg, and every other Saturday in DUMBO. Both studios are spacious and used by working artists 100% of the time. All sessions are for you to try new things, or improve on old ones. We started weekly sessions so members can come regularly and find their rhythm in working with the figure, and make leaps forward in their work.

    I'm biased because I'm the host, but it seemed like everyone enjoyed themselves. It felt good to be available to help out.

    "hi, I'm a visiting illustrator/animator over from the UK - I'm currently based in Williamsburg, and am keen to keep my eye in with some lifedrawing classes. Local is better for me, as I'm still getting to know my way around. Many thanks!"
