Plein Air Painting with a model posing in Central Park

About this event

**Please read the Community Code on the Group Description page before you RSVP** **What to Expect:** * You know the feeling when you spot someone in the park, the light hits just right, and you want to capture them... and then they're gone before you finish drawing or painting. While quick poses are a great exercise, sometimes it's nice to be able to finish a piece you start. * This session solves that. We'll have a **live model,** posed and holding. We'll spend **3 hours** in the park making art and enjoying each other's company, followed by a trip to a nearby cafe/restaurant to keep the conversation going *(it's not mandatory, so it's not included in the event duration*). **Location:** Central Park. The exact spot will be shared a couple days before the event with **confirmed participants only.** **This is a paid session:** There is an upfront **fee of 25$** required to confirm your spot. All the money collected will go to the model. **Our Model:** We're joined by Maria Diaz, a beautiful and long-time professional model, posed in a dress for this session. **Agenda:** Please arrive by 10:30, as the session starts promptly at 11 am, giving us time to meet as a group and get set up. **Session time** \- 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM\. We will paint in 20-minute poses with 5-minute breaks in between, plus one longer 15-minute break mid-session. **What to Bring: (No Materials are provided for this session)** * Something to paint with — your preferred painting mediums: oil paints, watercolours, acrylics, gouache, ink, pastel, markers etc. Brushes, pens and/or pencils. * Something to paint on — linen, canvas, paper, sketchbook etc. * Easels/pochade box (optional). * Dress comfortably for outdoor painting and bring a hat to shield yourself from the sun. * Bring a folding chair or a picnic blanket if you like to sit and draw. **IMPORTANT NOTES -** 1.
