The Over 50 Exchange was started in the first weeks of the pandemic by a group of artists over the age of 50 exchanging reference photos and videos of each other so that we could keep up with our figure drawing skills and chat about art and other topics of interest. We graduated to using Zoom for live sessions mid-pandemic where we would take turns drawing and posing, draped or undraped. Posing as a model is optional! You are not required to model to be a member of this group and participate in the life drawing sessions. And if you choose to model, you can pose in whatever level of dress, costume, cosplay or undraped that you are comfortable with!
This group is most definitely a ‘No Judgement’ zone! Stick to encouraging and positive feedback, no negative commentary of artist’s or model’s work is allowed!
** Please note... The Art Models in these sessions are not paid, so please donate to show your appreciation!
