Drawing in the Park (With Live Model)
TOP RATED
Arts & DIY
There's nothing like being in the great outdoors: the sounds, the scents, and especially the scenery! Unfortunately, most of us make our artwork cooped up in a studio. This is why I had the idea to organize a special drawing session outdoors!
We will meet up at ChiPRC at 1:00 for a brief discussion of art-making outdoors (aka plein air). We will then walk together to nearby Eckhart Park. For two hours, we will have a live model providing poses and interacting with everyday objects in the park. Feel free to draw anonymous passersby and the plans and animals in the park too! Bring your own drawing tools and paper.
We will finish up at 3:30, but feel free to linger and share your work with the others. In the event of inclement weather, we will have our model provide (clothed) poses in the shelter of ChiPRC. Either way, it will be a fun and relaxing way to exercise your drawing ability!
All ages welcome
