About Us
By definition a figure study is a drawing or painting of the human body made in preparation for a more composed or finished work; or to learn drawing and painting techniques in general and the human figure in particular.
The collaborative usually meets weekly and artists are welcome to subscribe or drop in and work from a live model.
