19:00: Life Drawing Workshop with a Twist – Nude Artists Drawing Clothed Models

19:00 – 21:30
1 April 2024

ON/NO is pleased to bring this event, organized by an ON/NO member, to the attention of other members.

Life drawing is usually with a nude model, but for this nude life drawing workshop, we will undertake exercises with models integrating costuming into their poses -- it is the artists who will be nude.

We will take the first fifteen minutes to discuss the objectives of the event, to answer questions, and to allow for latecomers, at which point the doors will be locked, participants will disrobe, and instructed drawing will begin.

Instruction will be provided on how to understand the human form, its relationship to drapery and clothing, and how to translate this understanding into drawing or painting.

Participants at any level of experience and artistic ability are invited to attend. Invite a dear friend, if you would like to.

Drawing material will be made available for those who need it, but participants are invited to bring their own materials: sketchbooks, pencil, pen, etc. There shall be no photography during the event. Please bring a towel for your seating comfort and hygiene.

And, yes, it is happening April 1. And, no, it is not a joke.

Cost: $10 by cash or e-transfer to atelierdenu@gmail.com
