This group is an experiment to create a free exchange of modeling and drawing for artists, like myself, who love drawing from life. Group members take turns doing some of the modeling (clothed or nude) and will have plenty of time to draw. I have drawn from life on and off for the last 10 years or so and also have experience modeling for life drawing classes in the University setting. I think the experience of being on both sides of the coin is valuable and interesting. Details: - All meetings …
