Details

• Plan to arrive 15 minutes early so you have time to set up and prepare. Doors will close promptly at 5:30 PM.
• We'll begin with a brief introduction to studio culture and the week’s model.
• Sessions typically begin with a series of short gestures (dynamic poses not easily held for longer than a few minutes) as warmup for both artists and models. 
• After a short break, the remaining time will be structured into 20-minute poses, relieving the model with breaks. 
• Easels are available. All dry materials, watercolor, and India Ink are welcome. Please no acrylics, oils, or turpentine. 
• The class fee covers compensation for the model. If you wish to show extra appreciation for the model's skill, time, and professionalism, you're welcome to leave an anonymous tip in the box provided.
