Figure Drawing Drop In Session in Logan Square Chicago

Figurative painters, graphic novel artists, illustrators and animators all rely on conveying the human form in their work.  To keep their drawing and rendering skills sharp, they can attend figure drawing drop in sessions where a model (sometimes two) pose usually nude (sometimes in clothes and/or costume).


Usually an art school provides figure drawing sessions for its students, and they are also held in artist studios and other public spaces.  For a time in Logan Square, Chicago there were weekly Tuesday night sessions held at the studio space of AnySquared, but as a result of scheduling issues, they ceased.

Now these sessions will resume in a space a few doors north up the block in Cole's bar again on Tuesday nights.  A few changes are in store as a result of the move.  First, models will wear some, at least, minimal articles of clothing, because they are in a public space.  This will be the performance space in a separate room in back of the main, bar room.  Second, visiting artists will be able to get a drink at the nearby bar before, during and after drawing.

Finally, a new and professional theatrical lighting system will be installed and set up in Cole's performance space.  So, for the moment, the figure drawing sessions are on hold for several weeks until this system is ready to go.

Stay posted for the resumption of figure drawing sessions.  For now, more information about how AnySquared conducts its sessions can be found here: http://logansquarist.com/2016/01/22/drawing-in-logan-square/
