40 High Drawing at Setra Artes

OPEN DRAWING STARTING UP AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER 2022!

Open drawing at Setra Artes begins with a series of 2-5 minute flowing gestures, moving on to a number of 10 minute poses—followed by several 20 minute poses. Afternoon sessions continue with three 20 minute sessions of the same pose (for those who wish to focus on more detail). Participants are encouraged to move about the gallery to access alternate angles and get a new perspective on the model.

Sessions are 4 hours long.

Cost: $30 per session.

Please arrive one half hour prior to the the start of session to get yourself situated.

The model will be in pose from 2 - 6 PM.

There will be short breaks throughout the afternoon...with one slightly longer break at the halfway mark.

Please bring all the materials you need including a collapsible easel—should you require one.

If you're an oil painter, awesome. Please get in touch with us so we can discuss the solvent situation.

Call 774.319.6144 to reserve a space!
