Fairfield Figure Drawing Meetup

Uninstructed live model figure drawing, figure painting, and figure sculpture are available at this meetup. Easels and small taboret are provided, and we have extra drawing boards. Watermedia are also welcome at any session listed as a drawing workshop.

This is a non-profit organization. Fees are low, amounting to $3 an hour for each artist. However, space is limited; we try to keep the group small and with plenty of room for each artist. Please join and register here in advance, because we might not have space to accommodate drop-ins!

If you're interested in becoming a model, the Introduction to Modeling class is the place to start! Model instruction is always free, whether it is a class or a workshop. Volunteer hours are used to support model classes and instruction, and our Program Director is an unpaid position.

Figure drawing, figure painting, and figure sculpture classes at colleges offer plenty of job opportunities for models, as well as figure drawing and figure painting classes or sessions in professional art studios, and private modeling for figure sculpture or painting.

We were motivated to launch this organization in February 2010 as a resource for models and those wishing to explore modeling as professional work. The lack of an avenue for new models to enter the field, and the scarcity of resources for learning modeling techniques are common complaints in figurative arts communities. Filling a unique niche, shefigures™ mission is to teach professional fine art modeling to women and men, using a non-profit business model.
