Sketching and painting the human figure from life is an essential art skill that many artists continue thoughout their lives. Quimper Arts hires local model, who generally pose nude but occasionally clothed. All artists, including beginners, are welcome. There is no instruction but many participants will give helpful tips if asked. Each session costs $15 for the general public, $10 for Quimper Arts members, to cover model's pay and room rent.
Bring your own art materials (charcoal, watercolors paper, etc.). We have easels, tables and "horses" (drawing benches with an upright support for a drawing pad.)
The morning life drawing session consists of shorter poses, which start at one minute and go up to 20 minutes. For short pose, most participants sketch in pencil or charcoal, although other media are welcome. The doors open at 9:00 a.m. for the morning session.
