Our Members Only Monthly Model Sessions are the perfect opportunity for artists to refine their skills with the benefit of a live, clothed model. Held three Saturday mornings each month, these sessions provide a focused environment where artists can practice drawing or painting from life. We start with a couple of short poses, followed by one longer pose for in-depth study. Whether you’re looking to improve your technique or simply enjoy the process of working from a live subject, these sessions offer a welcoming and inspiring space for creative growth.
