Benefits of Drawing or Painting the Figure
· Instantly captures your attention
· Stretches your normal comfort boundaries
· Nurtures creativity
· Provides a hands-on creative experience
· Is a unique & challenging activity
· Engage in a classic & classy form of fine arts
· Opportunity for personal enrichment & artistic skill development
· Produces tangible keepsakes
· Offers a new experience for many, regardless of level of skill
· Promotes patience
· Enhances attention & use of deep observation skills
· Activates the "flow state" or the “zone”, where you are fully immersed in an activity and “time seems to fly”. This causes reactions in your brain similar to the ones that happen when
meditating. The more time you spend in this state, the happier you feel!
Long Poses
Facilitated, uninstructed long pose figure drawing with a nude fine art model every Sunday from 5-8pm & every Wednesday from 1-4pm. Nude. Pre-registration is required, at first because we need six artists, minimum to run it each time. The green squares indicate how many of those necessary are currently signed up for the most currently upcoming long pose(red are unfilled placeholders). If all the boxes are all green that means the session will run, but still be sure to sign up to save your place, as I will cap attendance at 15 to ensure everyone can see. We have been filling up so be sure to sign up early!
​
If the pay button is still up and all of the squares are green, this means the pose is running. Technically, we need six artists to sign up by 24 hrs before the pose to ensure running. SOMETIMES, models are willing to hold registration open until up to four hours before the pose, in which case the pay button will still be intact.
​
Bring your own easel, OR we have 8 workhorses, 5 easels, & 8 boards to share. We have 2 stools for putting paints on, but we do not normally have enough room to set up large folding tables for the long pose. Bring your own drawing/painting supplies. Please NO toxic paint cleaners! $30
*Artists interested in booking AOM models for their own projects or classes are respectfully asked to do so through AOM so that AOM can remain in business (model booking is our bread & butter; we host in-house figure drawing only because we are a fine art modeling agency)
