FIGURE DRAWING ~ Open Studio
Every Tuesday Night Open Studio Figure Drawing!
“The object isn’t to make art, its to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable.” – Robert Henri
Tuesday nights are groovy nights at the Space! We put on some good tunes, bring our favorite art materials and get into that ‘wonderful state’. A different nude model poses each week, serving as our muse in our pursuit of creative expression. Through the process of observation and mark making we challenge how we see, and what we want to say.
We observe the nuances of the impermanent human form, its moods, character, and light, and try our best to capture something in the moment that tells a story. All skill levels are welcome. We have even had poets drop in and compose verses to the vibe in the room.
Key Features:
- Live model for observational drawing
- Variety of short and long poses
- Open format with no formal instruction
- Welcoming for artists of all levels
- Group critique and peer feedback
