2024 Life Drawing at Toe River Arts
We had such a great time drawing together last year that we’re continuing our Second Tuesday Life Drawing Series in 2024.
Bring your favorite drawing implements and surfaces or use the provided materials, and let’s spend an evening each month drawing together. We’ll alternate months between clothed live models and still life set-ups, engage in thoughtful discussion about technique, have some guest artists share their tips and tricks, and improve our observational drawing skills together. Come once or twice or every month!

When: Second Tuesdays from 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
