Weekly 3 hour drawing session for people at all levels of drawing ability, We are currently meeting via ZOOM. Quiet, supportive, respectful atmosphere. An opportunity to draw fantastic models and share your work. Mixture of short and long poses. $15 drop-in fee. Please send your email address to: [email protected] to receive announcements/ zoom links.
No instruction, just an opportunity to develop or sharpen your life drawing and painting skills with an artist’s model, nude or clothed. Each five-hour session will feature multiple poses with at least one long pose per session. You are not required to stay for the entire session, but please be prompt for the start. Bring the drawing or painting materials you like (only odorless solvent allowed, please) and get to work!
This is NOT a typical, quiet figure drawing group. This is a fun, social, community group. We have weekly Tuesday night sessions, and occasional popups, workshops, and other collaborations with local organizations. It gets crowded as hell. There is inconsistent, spontaneous instruction that is generally focused on loosening up and letting go of perfectionism. There are no requirements for membership; this could be your first time touching a pencil (although that would be weird). We want you and your energy – we don’t care about your resume. This group has a focus on socializing and getting to know other people. Come prepared to chat with strangers. Everything is always provided. We’ve got snacks but BYOB. Supplies of all manner are provided – big paper, small paper, charcoal, pencils, markers, etc. Feel free to bring your own supplies. There is an Instagram group! It’s @LifeDrawingBoston. Follow! Tag us in your work! Getting here: Joy St. Studios is right off the East Somerville green line stop. There is a bike path and a blue bike station steps from the entrance. There is a parking lot for your car. If you are interested in participating in the carpool program, please get in touch with David at (240) 678-4399.
Join us on Tuesday evenings to work from the figure model. There is no instruction, this is just an opportunity to practice and enjoy the company of other artists. There will be short poses for warm-up and then longer poses as the night goes on.
