Life Drawing 2026 at Del Ray Artisans – Alexandria, VA

Drop-in and practice life drawing at Del Ray Artisans gallery on select Tuesday and Thursday evenings each month. Bring your supplies and join us at the gallery to draw or paint our nude model.

Traditional drawing media (such as pencils, pens, and charcoal) are welcome; and pastels, watercolor and ink are permissible. Please do not bring acrylics or oil paints. We don’t supply easels – only plenty of chairs – but you are welcome to bring your own easel if you want to use one. All skill levels are welcome.

The first part of this session will be focused on gesture poses (dynamic 1-5 minute poses) to loosen up and participate in a fun, fast-paced drawing experience. The second hour will be a few short poses for more detailed drawings leading up to up to two 20-minute poses.

Fee for each session is $10 for Del Ray Artisans members and $15 for non-members. Register now or pay at the gallery before the session. If you have any questions or would like to participate as a model for our sessions, please contact Brando Gould at LifeDrawing@DelRayArtisans.org.
