Join us for an immersive figure drawing experience designed to help you create more completed drawings. With short warm-up poses followed by longer poses, you'll have ample time to refine your techniques. All levels are welcome.
Great atmosphere, Great Models, Great Lighting, Great Range of Pose Times. Luv It.
This uninstructed session begins with short poses for attendees to warm up. The longest poses will be 20 minutes, and we take a 5-minute break after each 20-minute segment. During the session, you’ll have access to cookies and fresh water, and we’ll listen to music to set the atmosphere while you work.

Students praise the Weeknight Figure Drawing classes for their quality models, dynamic poses, and welcoming atmosphere. They note that the environment is comfortable and the pacing of the class is well-balanced between drawing and break time. The classes provide a good mix of short and long poses, which helps students develop and hone their drawing skills. Students felt they could concentrate on their work in a nonjudgmental setting, especially those drawing for the first first time in this class. These students were definitely encouraged to return. Eeryone appreciated the strong feedback from the instructor and peers during breaks and after class. Quotes: 1. "Relaxed, environment; simple approach that allows for personal opportunity to draw from the figure without preconditions." 2. "The model was terrific - very professional." 3. "Simon stayed after class for an hour just to review students work that wanted some advice. In one class I feel like I learned more than I did at a university drawing class."
