Open Figure Drawing & Relief Sculpture Sessions

With Life Model (or Plaster Casts if fewer than 5 artists enrolled)

These ongoing sessions meet weekly and share the cost of a live model. The model fee is divided among participants. If fewer than five artists commit in advance, plaster casts (Greek sculpture, anatomical studies, or demonstration pieces, plaster casts from my gallery) will be available as subjects instead.

Structure

• Day Sessions: 4 hours

• Evening Sessions: 3 hours

• Each session begins with short warm-up poses (5–40 minutes) before selecting a long pose.

• Long poses may continue for several sessions to several months.

• Relief sculpture work may be done during drawing sessions. Refer to Relief Sculpture Classes for materials and supplies.

Cost

• Standard: $280 prepaid for 7 sessions ($40/session)

• Discount for enrolled students: $231 prepaid for 7 sessions ($33/session)

Payment is due before the first session of each 7-week block.

Materials

• Participants bring their own drawing or sculpting supplies.

• Easels are available for drawing, paper, tools, armatures, and plastelene are not provided.

• Approved plastelene clays: Chavant NSP Soft (Red Brown), Chavant Beau La Touche HM (Red or Brown), or classic wax-based clay.

• For sculpture: armature bases must have countersunk screws and smooth plywood surfaces to fit studio stands.

Notes
