What you'll do
Settle in, pick up your favorite tools, and let yourself slow down in a welcoming NYC drawing class designed for focus, flow, and creative joy! This live model drawing session centers on a single, sustained pose, giving you the rare chance to really study the figure and build more finished work than you would in a fast-paced sketch night. Every 20 minutes, you’ll get a gentle 5-minute break while the model rests -- perfect for stretching, grabbing a cookie, sipping fresh water, and vibing to the music we play while you draw.Whether you’re curious about drawing for beginners, brushing up on how to figure draw, or just searching for creative things to do in New York City, you’ll find a relaxed, encouraging space here. We keep things simple and safe: no dry pastels, no open ink containers, and only watercolor is permitted.Doors open 15 minutes early, and the doorman will guide you to the third-floor studio (note: there’s no elevator). Late arrivals may be seated at the monitor’s discretion, and photography is never allowed while the model is posing. If plans change, please request rescheduling at least 48 hours in advance. We can’t wait to draw with you!Please Note:This event takes place on the third floor of a building without an elevator. Latecomers will be seated at the discretion of the monitor. There is absolutely no photography when the model is posing. We kindly ask that any ticket rescheduling be requested at least 48 hours before class. Our space is limited and we hold spots for all ticket holders.
