The beachKraft is proud to host Life Drawing events with Live Models!

 

Live, clothed or nude models in traditional and themed poses.

 

Bring your own art supplies or purchase some at the gallery. You only need your sketchbook or drawing paper and a pencil, but you may bring any materials you prefer to use for figure drawing.

 

We have stand-up easels and tabletop easels available.

 

Beginners welcome! No experience necessary, we will coach those new to drawing or new to figure drawing.

 

$25 per session as we pay models in full - no tipping necessary, but still appreciated.
