Sat, Oct 10, 4:00 PM

Join us for Saturday Figure Drawing from 12:00 - 3:00 pm. We draw from a live model. This uninstructed session begins with short poses for attendees to warm up. The longest poses are 20 minutes. We take a 5-minute break every 20 minutes. There are cookies and fresh water available. We listen to music while we work. Please bring your supplies (we have limited supplies to lend out). **[If you don't know what to bring we recommend the following supplies](https://amzn.to/47VCpaE)**. Looking forward to seeing you! PLEASE NOTE: * We can not accommodate dry pastels (for health reasons), open ink containers, or paint other than watercolor. * Latecomers will be seated at the moderator's discretion to prevent disruption to other artists. * Because of the limited space, we can not offer any refunds for the session. Thank you for being so understanding. * Absolutely no photography while the model is posing.

You can climb all day with the 15$ day-pass; however, Climbs & Lines will start at 7pm and go on for 2 hours (with short breaks in between). We’ll start with some warm ups and longer poses on the wall and in the air. You can finally draw models like you’ve never been able to (except from photographs). For 7-10min poses we will gradually transition to hybrid (some models on the ground and some suspended) and finally make our way back to the ground for the last longer poses (15-20min). We’ll wrap up around 9, show what we made, and maybe even climb together after! :) Drawing supplies, Bathrooms, Snacks and Water available For questions contact Zovi at @zoviism

In this weekly studio class, students learn to structurally draw a new part of the body each session, building a clear understanding of anatomy, proportion, and form. Working on toned paper with traditional drawing materials, we’ll study the methods of the Old Master, developing drawings through gesture, block-in, and open rendering. By the end of the course, students will have a toolkit for constructing the human figure with confidence and classical refinement.
