There's no better way to sharpen and improve your drawing skills than to draw from life. While enjoying the company of fellow artists, we use pencil, charcoal, watercolour, pastels and conte crayon to create fresh lively drawings. Although untutored many are more than happy to assist anyone not totally confident of their ability.
Life Drawing sessions are open to the public and not just HVFAA members. Fee of $15 includes tea and coffee and the cost of the model.
