Figure Drawing Near Me

Trans Figure Drawing

Join us for Trans Figure Drawing, a live figure-drawing session featuring trans models provided by the Westerville Queer Collective (WQC) and the Ohio Feminist Art Museum (OFAM). We will begin with short, gestural poses and gradually move onto longer ones. Beginner level instruction will be provided by a local queer artist for those who would like it. This event is 18+, and all skill levels welcome. Figure drawing isn’t just a tradition for classical artists - it’s a rewarding way to connect with the human body. When going to a live figure drawing session, it’s not always disclosed what kind of model the artists will be working with. Given today’s political landscape, OFAM and WQC are creating space for artists to work with the trans body. This event is good for anyone who wishes to hone their skills, diversify their subject matter, or simply enjoy introspective, meditative sketching. Bring your own materials: easel and drawing pad, sketchbook and color pencils, watercolor set up, anything that doesn’t require excessive ventilation or other special accommodations. BYOB if you’re 21+ as well! We will cover model etiquette and there will be scheduled breaks throughout. Seating/tables and tabletop easels will also be provided. OFAM is wheelchair accessible. See OFAM's website for ticketing, and please reach out if price is an obstacle. Any other questions, please reach out to rossi@westervillequeercollective.com.

Paint by Numbers (Dire Bound by Sable Sorenson)

Join us to discuss our August read, Dire Bound, as we paint small canvases! Book description: Fourth Wing meets The Hunger Games in this spicy, page-turning romantasy where humans and direwolves forge unbreakable bonds and fight for survival at all costs. Only the worthy survive the Bonding Trials. She’ll risk her life—and her heart—to be one of them. Meryn Cooper has always hated the Bonded, elite warriors who form mental links with the massive, vicious direwolves they ride. While they live in luxury, Meryn struggles to keep her family out of poverty. When her little sister, Saela, is kidnapped—stolen across the border by the immortal monsters her country has spent centuries fighting—Meryn’s world falls apart. Desperate to cross the front and save her sister, Meryn enlists in the army and is thrown into the deadly Bonding Trials, where any mistake will cost her life. Now Meryn must survive four months of training at the castle. She is bound to a feral direwolf who refuses to communicate. The other trainees would love to spill her common blood. And her cold and beautiful instructor, Stark Therion, is eager to punish any weakness. Everything is a competition, and everyone is out to get her—everyone except the dangerously handsome crown prince, whose attention adds another target to her back. In the castle, every smile hides a knife…and the halls hide dark secrets. It’s bond or bleed. Duel or die. Failure is ruin.

How to Build a 6-Figure Real Estate Business Helping Sellers in Foreclosure

**[Note: Registering here on Meetup does NOT reserve your seat. To reserve your seat, please register on our website, [HERE](https://www.cincinnatireia.com/Events.aspx?ID=IN-COLUMBUS-How-to-Build-a-6-Figure-Real-Estate-Business-Helping-Sellers-in-Foreclosure-49-8-15-2026).]** Most investors think foreclosure opportunities begin at the auction. The truth is, by then, many of the best opportunities have already passed. The real opportunity is in **pre-foreclosure**, when homeowners still have options, investors can actually see the property before buying it, and everyone has a chance to create a solution that benefits both the seller and the investor. And that’s becoming more important than ever. As more homeowners struggle with rising housing costs and financial pressure, investors who understand pre-foreclosures will have opportunities that simply aren’t available once a property reaches the auction or becomes bank-owned. But succeeding in pre-foreclosures takes more than sending postcards or making offers. You need to understand what homeowners are experiencing, how to communicate with them, and how to structure deals that truly solve their problems. That’s exactly what Dwan & Bill Twyford will teach during this intensive two-day workshop. With more than **80 years of combined real estate investing experience**, they’ve built successful businesses by helping homeowners in pre-foreclosure while creating profitable deals through subject-to investing, short sales, creative financing, and other proven strategies. **During this two-day workshop, you’ll learn:** • How to successfully market to homeowners in pre-foreclosure • What to say when you first talk with sellers—including real-world conversation scripts • Strategies for working with sellers who have substantial equity • How to negotiate profitable short sales when little or no equity exists • Subject-To investing and other creative financing techniques • Multiple exit strategies for pre-foreclosure deals • How to build a business that consistently generates leads instead of constantly chasing them Whether you’re buying your first investment property or building a full-time investing business, you’ll leave with practical systems and strategies you can begin using immediately. 📅 **August 15–16, 2026** 📍**Attend in person in Columbus, Ohio** — Register **[HERE](https://www.cincinnatireia.com/Events.aspx?ID=IN-COLUMBUS-How-to-Build-a-6-Figure-Real-Estate-Business-Helping-Sellers-in-Foreclosure-49-8-15-2026)** 💻 **Attend virtually from anywhere** — Register **[HERE](https://www.cincinnatireia.com/Events.aspx?ID=Online-Meeting-How-to-Build-a-6-Figure-Real-Estate-Business-Helping-Sellers-in-Foreclosure-49-8-15-2026)** One of the biggest benefits of attending in person isn’t just the education—it’s the people you’ll meet. Your next lender, buyer, contractor, mentor, private lender, or business partner could be sitting in the room with you. **Express Success members attend FREE with their member coupon code.** **[Again, registering here on Meetup does NOT reserve your seat.

CBusData - Translytical Task Flows: So Much More Than Write-Back

Translytical Task Flows: So Much More Than Write-Back When was the last time a dashboard made you reach for your phone to film it? By the end of this 45-minute session, you will want to. With Microsoft introducing Translytical Task Flows, Power BI now has a native Fabric-backed pattern for write-back. Update that row. Approve that line item. Override that forecast. These are all things we have wanted, and they are wonderful. If you are not using Translytical Task Flows for that, start Monday. But there is more. So much more. That button connects to Fabric User Data Functions, and it is not just a write-back widget. It is serverless Python running directly in Fabric. You can pass report context and user input into governed business logic, access Fabric data sources through managed connections, inspect the verified caller’s identity metadata, call external APIs when appropriate, and do it without standing up a separate API server. Write-back is just the beginning. What happens when the button is not constrained to a table update? What happens when it can reach past your warehouse, past your tenant, and into the systems and services your business actually runs on, while still answering the question of who clicked it? That is what this session is about. What you'll see, no spoilers: One button in Power BI. Nothing pre-recorded. Nothing pre-canned. All live, in front of you.

The Completely Series - (A.M.) Field Shoot - Franklin Park Conservatory

Franklin Park Conservatory opens at 10:00 am but we will plan to meet at 9:00 am to walk the grounds before going in (you will have to purchase your own ticket). These events on the schedule are to serve three purposes: 1. These will serve as field shoots targeted at The Completely Series homework. Generally, each of these shoots will focus on the homework assigned in the two prior weeks. So locations and topics will be picked to match those expectations. 2. Additionally, these events are to serve as placeholders for TIME OF DAY. They are intended to be modified as needed to capture SUNRISE and/or EARLY MORNING light. They will likely be modified to time out for the IDEAL light on that day, at that location. EXPECT THEM TO BE MODIFIED as the time of year changes and/or schedule conflicts occur. But THERE WILL BE at least one morning shoot per month. 3. Lastly, they are also to serve as semi-monthly morning shoots for the group as a whole. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE IN THE COMPLETELY SERIES to attend any of these morning field shoots. Locations and specifics will be updated as the event date approaches.
