Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this figure drawing class:

This uninstructed session begins with short poses for attendees to warm up. The longest poses are 20 minutes. We take a 5-minute break every 20 minutes. There are cookies and fresh water available. We listen to music while we work. Please bring your own supplies. 

Recommended Basic Drawing Supplies: 

  • Strathmore Medium Drawing Spiral Paper Pad 11"X14" 
  • Tombow 61001 MONO Drawing Pencil Set 
  • Pentel Hi-Polymer Eraser - Lead Pencil 


Please note: 

  • We cannot accommodate dry pastels (for health reasons), open ink containers, or paint other than watercolor. 
  • The doors to our events open 15 minutes before each session. There is no room to wait inside the building if you arrive before then so please plan accordingly. The doorman will direct you to the classroom. 
  • This event takes place on the third floor of a building without an elevator. Latecomers will be seated at the discretion of the monitor. 
  • There is absolutely no photography when the model is posing. 
  • We kindly ask that any ticket rescheduling be requested at least 48 hours before class. Our space is limited and we hold spots for all ticket holders. 

Looking forward to seeing you!

Refund Policy

No refund unless the school cancels the class. 

We do honor change-of-date requests for in-person sketch classes with at least 5 business days' notice and for workshops with 8 business days' notice.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

    It’s a nice class and the pose times are perfect but they just raised it to $30 a class. Because of this I will be attending less classes. $25 was already a bit steep.

Review Summary by CourseHorse

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."

Hi Terry! This class is not an instructed class. There is an instructor there to moderate, but the class is generally silent to allow the students to focus on drawing. Hope this helps.
