What we’re about
Welcome to Life Drawing Portland at Hipbone Art Studio!
https://www.hipboneartstudio.com/
We are a new Meetup group that gets together (in-person) every Wednesday to connect with each other, and practice drawing the human form from a live, nude, sometimes costumed model.
This is a supportive and inclusive environment, and whether you’ve never drawn before, are a seasoned artist or just looking to try something different - you are welcome here!
Doors open at 6pm with some time allowed to get settled in and meet everyone. At this time we can also give a few drawing pointers and suggestions if needed so you can get the most out of the session.
Timed poses with the model on stage begin at 6:30 starting with short, 90 second gesture drawings and working our way up to 15 minute poses. Our first break is at 7:15 when you can walk around, look at everyone’s work, talk, and have a snack. The evening continues with longer 30 minute poses with breaks in between until 9pm.
(You dont have to stay till 9pm, it is a school night after all!)
We provide all needed art supplies, but you can bring your own as well.
We are also happy to provide instruction and feedback on drawing if requested.
This event has an $18 fee to cover model and venue expenses and is payable the same day in person. We also encourage everyone to tip our model!
Great music will be played on our turntable!
PARKING IS FREE in our large lot!
Hope to see you there!
