Today is Open Studio - Long Pose from 12-3 pm. Relax and get the right side of your brain fired up as you take on the challenge of working from a live model doing one pose for three hours. Working from life cannot be compared to working from reference photos. Your eye can detect far more than the camera can. Grow your skills and have a great time in our welcoming and supportive studio. All skills are welcome and encouraged. Bring your favorite materials and register online or at the door: https://acorntooakstudios.coursestorm.com/course/open-studio-long-pose8
