Live figure model(s) will be provided for participants to draw from for regular drawing from observation practice & maintenance. This Open Studio is available to support observational drawing practice for independent working artists (professionals and avocation-based), drawing students at all levels of study, those who work in related media like sculpture or painting, and those who draw for pleasure or as a meditative practice. Artist Ernie Sandidge will work with the model in setting poses, time-lines and breaks, and generally monitor the class. Courteous conduct towards model, monitor and other participants is expected and required during each of the sessions.
