Life Figure Drawing and Painting Group
Shane McDonald periodically hosts an open figure drawing/painting session at the studio. The meetings are relaxed and friendly. If you're interested in attending for the first time, please give Shane a call: 770-218-0676. or Email.
Alternating Weekend Dates
(See calendar Above)
The cost to attend each session ranges between $12-20, depending on the length of the session and estimated number of artists/students attending.
The group generally starts with 2-minute gesture poses, followed by a single long pose that lasts for the remainder of the evening. Model breaks take place every 25 minutes. This agenda may change on days when a model is scheduled to pose for consecutive sessions enabling artists to complete more elaborate works.
Cameras are allowed, but please respect the model's right not to be photographed. Artists should ask the model individually and discretely if they allow photographic references to be taken. Please do not assume that permission given to one artist is granted to all artists. Please always tip the model if you take photos. (Suggested tip: $2-5.)
The studio supplies easels for up to 12 people on a first-come first-served basis. Bring your own drawing board, drawing paper and tools. If you want to paint, please use odorless mineral spirits bought from an art store (hardware store brands are not really odorless). Many people bring wine and snacks to share. Music will be played — hopefully for your enjoyment.
Kristina Havens now holds the open figure sessions that Shane started several years ago.
