Uninstructed, Open Session Figure Drawing


Next event: Thursday, March 26

7-10pm

THE EVENT:
In each 3-hr session, we draw from a live model, beginning with quick poses to warm up, and then gradually extend the pose length to a final 1 hour + pose to finish the evening.

First timers welcome. All levels of experience and skill are invited. This is an uninstructed event is for anyone who enjoys or is curious about drawing from a nude figure model. Do your own thing. The environment is laid back, yet professional, and we want everyone to enjoy themselves. No photography allowed. Bring your own beverages. Great tunes will be played, great models will be hired, and we'll make some fantastic artwork.

COST:
$20 per person. Cash only. No checks or credit cards accepted.

Spots are given away on a first come, first served basis.

These sessions are moderated by Rob Zeller, Director of the Teaching Studios of Art.

We are just a block from the Oyster Bay LIRR station. There is plenty of available parking on the street outside.

Note: When you get to the building, we are on the ground floor. Use the white door to the right of the front windows. Do not go up the stairs to the left. Those are apartments.
