Details

Long pose, live model drawing/painting session every other Saturday. Ages 16+

Every other Saturday, 10:00am - 1:00pm. $25.

Attendees must register here: https://www.catalystartscollaborative.com/service-page/figure-draw-paint-saturdays-10a-1p

Bring your paints or drawing supplies and join us every other Saturday for a 3-hour single pose figure drawing/painting session from 10am-1pm! We have a wide range of models who pose for us to keep the subject fresh and inclusive. Models will be clothed in whatever way they choose. We welcome all ages, sizes, and genders. In the past, we've featured people from all walks of life, from college students and grandparents to burlesque dancers in full costume!

Each session will consist of a single, three-hour pose (with breaks). The final 5-10 minutes will be used for a gallery walk to view each other's work and share feedback and support. All levels and mediums welcome, no formal training is provided in this session.

We also have figure drawing sessions on Tuesday nights with several poses per session.

Please bring the following with you:
- A canvas/paper to work on
- Your preferred medium(s) (watercolors, acrylics, pastels, oils, charcoal, etc.)
- Any additional supplies you'll need (brushes, palette, etc.)

Optional:
- Your own music and ear buds
- Layered clothing, as the temperatures may be difficult to manage in the building

We will provide:
- Floor easels or table with or without an easel
- A small table for your supplies
- Stools/chairs for sitting
- A lovely space with appropriate lighting
- Model(s) with interesting fabrics/props/furniture, all on a lifted stage area
- Music (usually something relaxing, yet lively and modern)
- We do have some basic supplies in case you forget something

Ages 16+ are welcome! Registration is $25. Attendees must register here: https://www.catalystartscollaborative.com/service-page/figure-draw-paint-saturdays-10a-1p
