Special Instructions

Come early to set up your station while enjoying a delicious cup of coffee or tea. Gates open at 9:00 am. Traffic on 16th is crazy fast so slow down well in advance and warn drivers of your turn into Art in the Country. Parking on grass is fine. Please pull in tightly; veer to the right to park on grass as driveway only holds a handful of cars (eager beavers) who arrive at 9:00 am.

Dress for hot sun and chilly shade and everything in between. Participants will work on uneven grass lawn so sturdy shoes recommended.

Prerequisites

Experience with selected 2D or 3D media definitely beneficial. Experience with professional setting and a personal self-direction for similar model sessions will facilitate greater absorption of a 6 hour opportunity with a live model. No instruction offered (aside from the occasional one-on-one) so independence of practice is welcome !

Registration Details

PRE-REGISTRATION by sending an e-transfer to: uu3sgorris@shaw.ca. 

This is a privately organized offering for enthusiastic professionals and amateurs. Planning and organization is profound so pre-registration in advance is a must.

Suppy List

Participants bring own media and support. Two easels offered on a first-come, first serve basis. Chairs, stools, model, coffee/tea, drawing boards provided. Bring a light snack/lunch for yourself as 1/2 hr break at 1:00 pm will provide a moment of rest/nutrition /conversation/animal appreciation for all.
