Visual Arts Brampton
Visual Arts Brampton is the only area art group that offers year-round life drawing sessions. We provide artists the opportunity to draw from a life model who will strike dynamic poses. Models vary in age, gender, shape and size, giving artists new challenges and experience from week to week. We do not offer instruction during these sessions.
Each session begins with warm-up gestures followed by a number of moderate length poses. After a short break, we end the evening with a few longer poses.
