Sacramento has a place to come together and draw from life. We draw and paint the live model in long and short pose sessions all week long. If you love to paint or draw from the live model or looking for art instruction come on down.

This group is for those who love to draw, doodle, illustrate or generally be creative! There is no level of drawing expertise that you specifically need to have to participate.

There will be time for free drawing at each meetup, but mostly there are themes fo …

Tuesday Evenings, 7:00 - 10:00pm. We love drawing and we love listening to music while we draw! We are a loose collection of professionals and amateurs who have been meeting every Tuesday to draw the figure for over 15 years. Comfort and good humor are important aspects of our group and we enjoy talking about important - or not important - issues of the day. This is not a quiet or hushed group! But no question, our dedication and devotion is to our love of drawing the figure. We work with a spec …

All about Art! By being a part of this meetup you will be responsible for your own safety and well being. You must use your own common sense and not hold the leaders of the group liable for any mishap.

Let's get together on weekends to wander around San Francisco, sketching people and places. You don't have to be the next Paul Madonna, just someone who likes observing city life and making marks on paper. (Note that we used to be called Urban Sketchers. Same group, just a different name.)

Everyone needs a little mischief and creativity in their lives, even better if you can do both while learning something new! Each month I'll select a painting and give instruction to attendees on how to create a work of art on canvas (it's easier than you may think). You do NOT need any of the materials either; canvas, paints, brushes, etc are provided. Just bring $30 to cover the cost or instruction and materials. You're also welcome to bring snacks or drinks (of any kind). The first bottle of …

Interested in painting or drawing portraits but too shy to ask random strangers? Tired of drawing your loved ones over and over again? This group is for you. Let's get together and take turns sitting for each other. Just to be clear this is NOT a nude figure drawing session (not that I have anything against nude figure drawing). My interest is in faces specifically. I work in mixed media so it's easy for me to bring low maintenance supplies with me like colored pencils, water colors, pastels. Ho …
