What Happens
Two hours of looking
differently.

Figure drawing trains the eye before the hand. The model is there. You observe. You draw what you actually see — not what you think you see. That distinction is the whole practice.

Most people who come for the first time leave wanting to know when the next one is.

Typical Session Breakdown
5 min
Opening pose — settle in, eye calibrates
10 min
Second pose — proportion and gesture
15 min
Third pose — weight, shadow, structure
20 min
First long hold — real work begins
10 min
Break — model and artists both step away
20 min
Fifth pose — rested, full momentum
30 min
Final pose — sustained, concentrated attention

Pose times may vary slightly by session.

Who It's For
Artists

A consistent practice space to keep observation skills sharp. No instruction. No critique unless you ask. Just the model and your hand.

Beginners

No experience required. No one will grade your work. Come with curiosity. Figure drawing is one of the best ways to learn to really look at the world.

The Curious

Never drawn a person before? Come anyway. The session is not about the finished drawing. Most people leave feeling surprisingly calm.
