This class offers figurative and portrait artists uninstructed time to work from life. We use professional models on a stage and professional lighting. The space is first come, we have easels, tables, and chairs.
These classes are taught by professional artists who have fine arts degrees. Instructors can provide students with as much information as they seek, so asking questions is highly recommended.
