Please bring your own supplies, including a drawing board. Chairs are provided, but consider bringing a portable easel if you wish to stand.
We have a rotating lineup of well-known Vancouver models (see calendar). Sessions include 5 1-minute, 5 2-minute and 3 5-minute poses. After a short break, we return for 3 10-minute poses and a long break. Finally we return for 2 long poses (with breaks.)
Sessions are held at the Beaumont Studios, at 326 W. 5th Ave. in Vancouver V5Y 1H5 – a dynamic assemblage of creators, studios and gallery spaces. The location is convenient – just on the south side of the Cambie Bridge behind the police station/Canadian Tire. It’s a short walk from the Olympic Village Skytrain station. The space is large and comfortable (and air-conditioned!).
