Interested in practicing painting and life drawing with a model? Bill Chisholm, an exhibiting artist at Imago Foundation for the Arts, is hosting a gathering a group of fellow artists interested in honing their portrait drawing and painting skills in a group setting. Chisholm is a past participant in other portrait groups and is bringing this activity to Imago.

The group meets weekly at Imago Gallery, 36 Market Street, Warren, RI, on Tuesdays from 6 – 9 p.m. except for the week Imago is installing a new exhibit. Artists of all skill levels are welcome. Donations are collected to pay the model and offset any gallery expenses.

All participants must be 18 years of age or older and must bring their own supplies including drawing and painting materials, surfaces and easels. Tables and chairs will be provided. The sessions will be structured with one model holding the same pose for the evening for 20-minute intervals with 5 to 10-minute breaks in-between to give everyone the opportunity to develop a portrait over the full three-hour session.

To sign up in advance, please email imagogallery@gmail.com or stop in with your supplies on any Tuesday and join the group!
