Ray’s Tuesdays – Studio Nights
Tuesday, Sept. 26, Oct. 31, Nov. 7 7:00 – 9:00 p.m.
Ages 16+ $5 per evening for the live model
This is not a formally led class, instead a gathering of peers, art enthusiasts new and seasoned, and those interested in making art in a social setting. Inspired by the many Tuesday nights locals spent gathering in Ray Jansma’s studio drawing, painting, and sharing. It’s a great way to stay in practice, get feedback, be inspired, and share whatever exciting new medium or subject you’re working with. First part of the evening we’ll spend about a half hour catching up, have some tea, and share works in progress. Then the group will spend the next hour and a half drawing from a live model, or an arranged still life. Easels, drawing boards, newsprint and charcoal always available, but bring what you want to work with each evening. Please give us a call or stop in to preregister so we know how many people to prepare for, everyone is welcome!
