Why not draw or Paint a character portrait tonight...dressed in white defused by candle light! - Life Drawing with Character Portrait At Raven Art School Monday Tonight

Why not draw or Paint a character portrait tonight... who is dressed in white with candle light!

Tonight at the Raven Gallery, you will have the opportunity to paint or draw a model posed in white  lite by candle light.  How often do you have the opportunity to create work with a model clothed in subtle whites infused with a dramatic candle light?  Tonight is your night.

One of the new things we are doing at the Raven is Character Portrait Poses this fall. Besides going to a WEEKLY schedule with a mix of nude and portrait models, we are adding a feature of themed character portrait poses. We would love to see you there...get your ideas for themes and portrait set ups that would interest you.

Tonight classes begin EVERY Monday evening starting at 6:30 pm and going to 9 pm.
