This group is an experiment to create a free exchange of modeling and drawing for artists, like myself, who love drawing from life.

I have drawn from life on and off for the last 10 years or so and also have experience modeling for life drawing classes in the University setting. I think the experience of being on both sides of the coin is valuable and interesting. Details: - All meetings …

Tuesday Evenings, 7:00 - 10:00pm. We love drawing and we love listening to music while we draw!

But no question, our dedication and devotion is to our love of drawing the figure. We work with a spec …
