Go Figure

Go Figure is a drawing program that makes figure drawing cheap and accessible to everyone. Whether this is the first time you’ve picked up a pencil or you’re a seasoned vet ready for more this is a place for people to try new things, grow skills, and most importantly meet others from our community. 

Tickets are $7.50: https://go-figure.ticketleap.com/go-figure/

$10 at the door.

This event will happen on at The Fruit. Arrival starts at 6:30. Doors will be locked and drawing will begin at 7. There will be a 15-20 minute warm up and then some longer poses (with breaks in between) following. The event ends at 9 but if you’re interested in feedback hang back for a few and we can have an informal critique. 

Please read the rules and guidelines. Did I miss anything? Do you have questions? Please email me at artofnickdahlstrom@gmail.com 

Rules for patrons of “Go Figure”

Mature audiences only. Must be 18 or over.

Absolutely no photography of the model or the space while event is going on.

This is a safe space. Please be respectful to other artists, host and model. If your presence, actions, or remarks are found to be disrespectful by other artists, the host or the model you will be asked to leave without a refund. Future invitations will be reconsidered by the host and model.  Examples include but are not limited:

Please use correct pronoun preferences. If you are unsure ask. 

No romantic advances.

No aggressive actions or remarks

You are welcome to bring whatever drawing supplies you are currently finding inspiration in. But please nothing that will make a mess. Aka anything that splashes, squirts, or squishes is prohibited. We are occupying a gallery space with other people’s work on the walls. If a work gets defaced you are responsible for compensating the artist. 

If you are late: the door will be locked. Please just knock and wait until the next break for us to open the door. Highly recommended you show up before 7pm. If you know that showing up before 7 is going to be difficult please email me and I’ll give you my number. You can text me that you are there and I’ll text you when there’s a break so that you can just wait in your car instead of waiting outside on the porch. 

Guidelines and tips

Please bring your own supplies. As long as you something to draw with and something to draw on you’ll be good. 

(Recommended) if you have an easel that is easily transportable please bring it. Unfortunately the only drawing space we can provide are tables and chairs. 

If you are interested in advancing your drawing skills I have had the most growth through Nicolaides “The Natural Way to Draw.” This methodology is how the class will be structured. It by no means is required but recommended for those interested in pursuing drawing. 

This is a new and evolving event. Feedback is much appreciated.
