Figure Drawing
TOP RATED
Arts & DIY
Are you self-conscious about your drawings? Have you always wanted to draw a live model, but you worry about not being a good enough artist? Does imagining a model standing over you on a pedestal, looking down at your drawings, make your stomach tie up in knots? Well, we've got a safe space for you!
This is a Figure Drawing session for real people. We welcome all styles and all skill levels. We encourage you to draw in your own way. There is a wide variety of art supplies available to help you get in your comfort zone, from markers to pastels, and pencils to charcoal.
What's more, our friendly model will not be looming on a pedestal, but standing right in front of us. And that pretty much sums up Figure Drawing -- nobody's talent towers over the rest. We're all equally good, and equally welcome!
All ages welcome
