UNINSTRUCTED
OPEN STUDIO FIGURE SESSIONS  (NUDE OR COSTUMED) -  LONG POSE (40 HOURS)
COST €200 PER BLOCK / 24 – 30 hours cost €130 per block

Our open studio sessions are held several times a month.  Choose whichever session/sessions you are interested in and pay with credit card by paypal.  If you want to pay by cash, you must email the studio for a good time to hand over the cash.  You must register and pay for your session before the date of the first day of the pose.  No walk ins are allowed, ever! All easels and work spaces are organized for you before the day of the first pose.
We provide you with the easels. Show up with your media like (drawing or painting materials). Easel positions are by raffle on the first day of the pose.  You will occupy this easel until the end of the session.

All open sessions are uninstructed. Our open studio sessions are for those artists who can work independently. No lessons are given.  We warm up with a couple of 5 to 10 minute poses.  The model then strikes a pose that he/she will hold for the rest of the session.  A session is either 24, 30, or 40 hours. The purpose of the long pose is to provide the artist  a structured environment to practice and hone his/her life drawing skills. We provide easels, a break room, a life model. We paint with controlled natural light. Because we draw or paint from one pose, you may be able to complete a drawing or painting within the those sessions. Currently all sessions are from 9:00 am to 5 pm .

By registering for our open studio sessions, you agree to follow our studio rules.  These studio rules are put in place so we can have structure and order in the studio.
