Another optional figure drawing venue, on your own schedule

Thanks to fellow artist Dan Springer, here is another resource for figure drawing. This is a pay-per-pose and is very well done- great poses, well lit models. Eventually we will return to live sessions, but until we do, we will try to keep you all informed of any other ways in which to practice your drawing. We hope this finds you all doing well as can be.

Here are some options for drawing.  If you have other suggestions to post here, please email  Christie.Washburn@gmail.com or Janet.Hamlin@gmail.com


 Art Students League, NYC offers Zoom figure drawing


AJ the model is conducting zoom sessions Sunday mornings and other times:

A small group of artists from another drawing group I was modeling at are starting to have longer pose sessions online via zoom.  We are meeting a couple of times a week at random days/times whenever artists are available.  We are usually having one morning session and one evening session per week.  The theme so far is working on longer poses with the model. Usually starting with an hour of shorter poses and then 2 hours of one or several longer pose.  Some artists like short online sessions and others prefer long so making it as flexible as possible for the artists. 

Sunday Morning  10am-1pm

We are using Paypal for donations it is $5 per hour to draw for up to 3 hours for $15 per session.

If your interested in attending let AJ know:  <ajtra@hotmail.com>

Dan Dugan


Dan Dugan ran figure drawing in Nyack at the Hopper House for years before he moved on and I took over as a volunteer in 2008. From time to time he would come to our sessions, or I’d see him at an Art Fair, surrounded by his fluid and lovely drawings. Thank you, Dan, for all you did to keep the arts going in Nyack. Rest In Peace.


Rockland Center for the Arts
In Memory of Dan Dugan
We are saddened to share the news that artist and RoCA instructor Dan Dugan recently passed away from coronavirus complications. For more than 20 years, Dan was a fixture as a well-loved teacher of our Drawing and Painting the Human Figure and Introduction to Drawing classes. He taught with a patient, non-invasive style—“coaching,” as he explained it—meant to guide his students through their work.
Dan Dugan was a former assistant to Professor Roger Hendricks at SUNY Purchase. He was widely exhibited in the NY/NJ area and taught in Montreal, Canada, Cairns, Australia and Eastchester, New York. Dan was an exceptional fine artist as well as a photographer who specialized in alternative processes. He was also a teacher and practitioner of massage therapy.
Dan was a kind, good-humored soul. On his Facebook page, he describes himself thus: “I’m an explorer.” It could be said that his life was one of openness to the endless wonder in life. His wry bearded grin will be dearly missed.
