I was invited by an artist friend Eric David to join a life drawing session with the Omart Life Drawing Group Last Sunday. I'm glad I went. Most of the participants were seasoned artist, yet the ambiance was relaxing and inspiring. Classical music was even playing in the background as we draw! We started by warming up first to 5 minute poses and proceeded with 20 minute poses.
Yesterday, friend from Urban Sketchers invited me to her group's life drawing session. I've never been in one, so I don't know what to expect. I forgot to take note of the time, but I think it is less than 2 hours. Time flies when you are concentrating, and that two hours seems just like 30 minutes. It was a free session, nobody gets to pay anything, but you have to give the model at least one of your drawings from the session. Having the lights turned off gave me headaches, so I was only able to make two drawings from the two poses.
