Boston, South End — Studio

Draw the figure.
Not the phone.

SE Figure Drawing is a small studio built around one thing: sustained, honest looking. Live models, timed poses, quiet room, no instruction unless you ask for it.

The studio

A registered Massachusetts studio, run by artists, for artists.

SE Figure Drawing LLC keeps the room simple on purpose — good north light, easels, bristol and newsprint on hand, and a rotating group of experienced models. Whether you're loosening up with 30-second gestures or holding a 20-minute pose, the studio is set up to get out of your way.

Sessions

Four ways to spend time at the easel.

Every session is BYO materials — easels, boards, and seating are provided. Walk-ins welcome when space allows; reserved seats go to bookings first.

01

Open Studio Session

Untutored gesture and long pose, self-directed. Great for building a daily drawing habit.

02

Extended Pose Evening

One model, a handful of 20–40 minute poses, low light, minimal chatter. For sustained studies.

03

Beginner Gesture Workshop

A guided introduction to proportion, weight, and line of action for artists just starting out.

04

Private Group Booking

Reserve the studio and a model for a class, meetup, or private session of your own.

Weekly schedule

The room is open four times a week.
