Life Drawing

The Life Drawing group works with a single, unclothed model approximately two Wednesdays per month from 2-5

p.m.. No instruction is given. All who attend work independently. Some of the artists draw (graphite, charcoal, pastels) and some paint (watercolor, oil, acrylics). Artists bring their own supplies. Chairs and tables are available and a very few easels.

Please Note: We are always looking for more life drawing models. Contact Jane Casner-Mothersill at 415.847.3797 or Tempra Board at 530-828-3406.

The cost for each participant is $20 with a minimum of 6 typically needed for each session. At each session the model is paid a fee of $120.

Normally a session begins with 5 warm-up poses of 2 minutes each, followed by 2 5-minute poses, and one 15-minute pose. The remainder of the three hours is devoted to longer poses, usually 30 – 40 minutes, occasionally an hour, with breaks in between.

You must be on the group’s email list in order to be notified of upcoming dates. Emails are sent out with upcoming dates, and requesting RSVPs. A second email typically goes to the group a few days in advance to confirm that the session will take place.

Models are always needed. Experience is not necessary. The only requirement is that the model be over the age of 18 and be vaccinated against COVID-19. All ages, weights, body types are desirable.

To be placed on the group’s email list, or for more information about attending or modeling, contact Jane Casner-Mothersill (janecasnermothersill@yahoo.com,  415.847.3797) or Tempra Board (tempra@tempraboard.com, 530-828-3406).
