About the Event
Figure Drawing at Art Bias is part of a beloved monthly series organized by artist Matthew Lipson, who curates each session to provide a welcoming and productive environment for everyone in attendance. The sessions are held on the fourth Thursday of each month, building a sense of continuity and artistic growth for those who attend regularly.
This is a registration-only event, limited to just 12 attendees. The smaller group size ensures each participant has ample space to work and can enjoy an uninterrupted drawing experience. Early registration is highly recommended, as spots tend to fill up quickly.
Artists are required to bring their own supplies, and for health and safety reasons, only dry and non-toxic materials are permitted. Whether your medium of choice is charcoal, graphite, or colored pencil, you’re encouraged to bring whatever tools allow you to create comfortably and respectfully in a shared space.
If you have any questions about the event or the materials allowed, you’re welcome to reach out directly to Matthew at rwclifedrawing@gmail.com. You can also follow the group on Instagram (@rwc_life_drawing) or Facebook (RWC Life Drawing) for updates, event photos, and examples of artwork created during past sessions.
Why Figure Drawing?
Figure drawing has been a cornerstone of artistic training for centuries. Capturing the nuances of the human body enhances an artist’s understanding of proportion, anatomy, light, and form. It’s an essential discipline for developing a well-rounded artistic foundation, but it’s also a meditative and rewarding activity on its own.
These sessions at Art Bias offer a unique opportunity to practice in a supportive, communal setting. Whether you’re developing a portfolio, working on technical skill, or simply looking to spend a few peaceful hours immersed in creative work, Figure Drawing at Art Bias is the perfect venue.
