Character Sketches Year 8 (2025)

"Character Sketches," now in its 8th year, is an adult art program using live models (always draped) for those who like to sketch, draw, or paint. This year's theme is "Celebrations!"

 

Each week we will celebrate what that day, week, or month celebrates.

Our models will help us celebrate everything from National Bubble Bath Day to endering WW I, from National Hat Day to World Hula Week. It's a great time and all skill levels are welcome. Join us!

Free! Wednesday's, 6:00 p.m., bring your own materials. "Character Sketches" is not a class, it is a self-directed practice session.
