Figure Drawing Sessions Near Me

Drop-In Drawing & Painting Sessions

Sharpen your skills in a relaxed, informal setting at our drop-in drawing and painting sessions. All skill levels are welcome.

How It Works

A monitor coordinates all sessions, but instruction is not provided. Participants must bring their own art materials. Classroom easels are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Pre-registration is not required.

NOTE: Participants under age 18 must have parental consent to participate in Gesture and Figure sessions. Email programs@hocoarts.org to request a consent form.

Six-session blocks may be purchased in advance at a discounted rate (see below for details).

COVID-19 Notice: Models may be unmasked only in the classroom during their pose. Vaccinations are required for models; they must provide proof of vaccination, to be kept on file with HCAC.

"Thanks for all that you have done to help the artists (including myself) who were affected by the [Ellicott City] flooding. The grant monies were career-saving and never would have been forthcoming without your efforts."
