On the first Tuesday of each month, join mixed media figure artist Jackie Reeves for a 3 hour session with a live model. Each month will focus on a different medium with instruction, demos and guidance as needed. A live model will be timed for a series of quick poses for warm ups, increasing in length with each pose in order to produce many figure studies. Enjoy a glass of wine in the company of artists of all levels. Class will wrap up with a final toast and a look at everyone’s work.
