Life Drawing Studio
Drawing the human figure from a live model is an essential element of any visual artists' developmental toolkit. Whether your focus/interest is portraiture, illustration, animation, fashion design, or just improving your observational skills, you will find a regular life drawing practice both beneficial and enjoyable.
Life Drawing Studio at GAC meets on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month. Each session begins with the model taking a series of short, dynamic poses or “gestures” for up to 2 minutes each, followed by progressively longer poses up to 50 minutes, sometimes incorporating furniture and/or props.
Focus is on the study of the human figure in its natural state; models typically pose nude or, occasionally, semi-clothed/draped.
Bring your own drawing or painting supplies. Our large, well-lit studio is equipped with 8 standing easels and 16 adjustable-angle drafting tabletops and backless stools. Viewing is typically set up in a semi-circular configuration around a small stage with adjustable spotlights.
Life Drawing Studio is a participant-led activity, not a formal class. At least a basic background in drawing is strongly suggested. Work at your own pace and in your preferred style.
Ask for feedback from your fellow artists if you like.
Photography is not permitted.
For adults age 18 and older.
Seeking new models regularly. Some experience preferred.
