First time doing a live figure drawing class and it was awesome. Really got to channel the right brain and Simon was great too, Will be back
Drawing New York embodies the daydream one thinks of when figure drawing in New York City. From the beautiful building to the community found behind its doors it’s a perfect class for any night or weekend.
Drawing New York offers so many fantastic classes, and the community and instructors are so encouraging. I especially love the long-pose classes on Sunday’s with Jeff. A great way to spend a few hours every weekend or week night.
Good models. A bit tight for easel work but I managed by using a stool and small table to hold paints.
I've always wanted to try joining a figure drawing session, and I'm so glad my first experiences were with Drawing New York. The atmosphere at these sessions is so comfortable, friendly and welcoming, I felt right at home from the start. Even as a shy introvert, I've never felt out of place - both Simon and Jeff truly understand the art of creating a space that is neither excluding nor pressuring, but just the right amount of calm yet open and joking, and it was easy to come out of my shell. During my short four weeks in NYC, I couldn't help but join 5 sessions, and they are some of my fondest memories. Every session had its own unique model, and I feel like I learned so much simply by participating and challenging myself - it was just the right space for it. Before my first session I was worried what and who to expect, but I felt right at home and I truly believe what their website says: "All levels are welcome"! And it surely helps that the sessions are located at one of the most gorgeous and most inspiring buildings I've visited in the entire city - a nice bonus for sure! I'd give a hundred stars if I could. I hope I can come back and join again one day :)
