What we’re about
Welcome to Life Drawing Portland at Hipbone Art Studio!
https://www.hipboneartstudio.com/
We are a new Meetup group who will be getting together (in-person) one Wednesday a month to connect with each other, and practice drawing the human form from a live, nude, sometimes costumed model. Sept.18th is our FREE introductory event!
This is a supportive and inclusive environment, and whether you’ve never drawn before, are a seasoned artist or just looking to try something different - you are welcome here!
Doors open at 6pm with some time allowed to get settled in, meet everyone and have some light snacks and drinks. At this time we will also be giving a few drawing pointers and suggestions so you can get the most out of the session.
Timed poses with the model on stage begin at 6:45, starting with short, 90 second gesture drawings and working our way up to 15 minute poses. Our first break is at 7:30, when you can walk around, look at everyone’s work, talk, have a drink and snack some more. The evening continues with longer 30 minute poses with breaks in between until 9pm.
(You dont have to stay till 9pm, it is a school night after all!)
We provide all needed art supplies, but you can bring your own as well.
We are also happy to provide instruction and feedback on drawing if requested.
This initial first event is free for Meetup group members. Future events will have a $15 fee to cover model and venue expenses. We also encourage everyone to tip our model!
Great music will be played on our turntable!
PARKING IS FREE in our large lot!
Hope to see you there!

Doors open at 6pm with the first 30 minutes dedicated to settling in, intro's and mingling.At 6:30 we draw from a live, nude model (sometimes costumed) starting with minute and a half short poses, working our way up to a 15 minute pose. We take our first break at 7:15 where you can go around and see everyone’s work, talk, and mingle. The evening continues with a longer 25 min pose and concluding with a one hour pose, with a break in between. (Of course you are not required to stay till 9, it is a school night after all!)

We provide all art materials and can provide drawing instruction and pointers if requested. You are welcome to bring your own favorite supplies too.A Little More Info…
Our Meetups will have a different model every Wednesday in a variety of nude and costumed poses, some times we will have a themed session, with different costumes, maybe a classic movie theme, or inspired by a famous artist. Also we always have some classic old and new vinyl spinning on our turntable to make the evening more interesting. We also have plenty of water and tea available for everyone and you are welcome to bring your own snacks and beverages.
Hope to see you then!.
