Craven Arts Council & Gallery (CAC&G) is proud to host a Figure Drawing Drop In Session, hosted by local artist Courtney Durocher. These low-cost sessions will offer artists the opportunity to sketch, paint or create from poses by a live, semi-clothed model.
Figure drawing builds fundamental drawing skills, observational ability, and understanding of movement, gesture, and the human form. Sessions start with 1–5 minute poses for quick, gestural sketches, extending to longer poses for more detailed study and works.
Sessions will be led by Courtney Durocher, a local artist with experience in physical and digital media, specializing in illustration and comics. Durocher will provide instruction and feedback to upon request, and lead sessions. The sessions are open to all artists and mediums.
CAC&G is offering these sessions as a pilot program to gauge interest in figure drawing for artists, with the first three sessions planned for May 27, June 10, and June 24, from 3-5pm. The cost will be $5 for members and $10 for nonmembers of Craven Arts Council & Gallery. Artists will pay at the door and registration is not required. Artists should bring their own materials, paper, easels, and other tools, though some easels will be available for use.
**If you are unable to make these dates, participants are still encouraged to fill out the form to let us know interest in upcoming sessions!
