What a great group of artists and a great way to spend an evening!

Thank you to our "regulars" and a few new artists who joined us last night and who always jump right in after the session, to help us put everything away. Thanks also, to our "always perfect" model, Linda, who is such a joy to work with.

Our model for next Wednesday, June 16, will be Andre, who will pose unclothed. Be there at 6:45 to get set up, as we lock the doors at 7:00 to protect our models. Bring your own easel or support board and drawing supplies. No wet media or aerosols, please.

Anyone with questions or interested in modeling for us, contact Susan Ishii at jsishii@mac.com.

Thanks to our wonderful artists and a perfect model, we had another great evening at Art First's Uninstructed Figure Drawing Session. Our model created some wonderful poses for us and was very patient, despite our changing things up on her a bit.

We hope to see you all next week, June 9. Our model will be Linda and will pose unclothed. By request, we're going to change the pose schedule for next week by warming up with some quick gestures. The first 10 minutes will consist of 30 second and 1 minute poses, then we'll do a series of 3, 5, 10, and 15 minute poses, a 15 minute break and then two 30 minute poses. As always, arrive by 6:45 as we start the session promptly at 7:00 and the doors will be locked.

Artists: Please leave a comment about your experience at the session!

Art First Gallery had a nice turnout for the first Uninstructed Figure Drawing Session and we had a GREAT model. We warmed up with five 3 minute poses, five 5 minute poses, then a 10, 20 and a 60 minute pose with a break (for cookies and a chance to talk to other artists) in between. It was a great evening and we want to thank all of the artists who came out to draw with us!

Our model for next Wednesday, May 12th,, will be Andre, who will pose unclothed. There will be no Figure Drawing Session on the 19th.
