What we’re about

Life Drawing lives forever at the Enchanted Cafe in Red Hook NY. For the past two years our group meets up on the 1st and 3rd Thursday EVERY MONTH! We also will try to bring in new faces, models, and interesting props along the way, so the artist can see, learn, and practice sketching all shapes, sizes and genders.

This is a non instruction opportunity to practice and refine your artistic abilities and power of seeing. OPEN to all skills. Bring your own supplies. $20 exchange. Fee covers costs of closing Cafe early and nude standing model fee. LIMITED SEATS PLEASE RSVP in advance to secure a spot. RSVP here on Meetup or call Cafe 845 835 8345. Please be 18yo or older, or sign a parental consent form.

Sessions will be hosted by Artist Mark Hopkins. Mark painted and built sets for the Minnesota Opera House and Sesame Street. He also designed the acclaimed Satwadee Restaurant in Minneapolis. Moving then to the Far East, he created spiritual and cultural art pieces for international publications and also created personal pieces in his studio. He has been drawing the figure for over 30 years. He lives now in the HV and we are completely thrilled to have Mark lead our sessions.
