Open Studio: Model Sketch Sessions
Open Studio Model sessions are opportunities to study the model from life, offered for both for our regular students and artists not affiliated with DARA. As a condition of participation, all artists agree to follow DARA's Open Studio Policies and Code of Conduct. A studio moderator will set the pose, keep time, and maintain a professional working environment.
All sketch sessions are uninstructed. Easels and drawing boards are provided, and participants are responsible for bringing all other materials. Easel selection starts 30 minutes before the pose, and is first-come, first-served. Some artist materials are prohibited for use inside DARA classrooms to ensure the health and safety of everyone working in our space, and there are no exceptions allowed.
