Figure Drawing Studio 

The Drawing Studio’s 3-hour figure drawing sessions are offered at our main studio location. Figure Drawing Studio provides a structured environment for artists of all skill levels to investigate the human form in their choice of media. 

The Drawing Studio employs experienced and professional models for all sessions. We are striving to expand diversity in our space. Studio monitors are on hand to stage models, keep time, and ensure prompt start time. Easels, tables, chairs and art horses are available for use.

Attending Figure Drawing Studio is also a terrific way for Drawing Fundamentals students to deepen their practice. Drawing from a live model develops and strengthens a number of skills: observation, agility, and sustained attention for longer lengths of time.
