NDG is a group of artists in the Washington DC area who meet twice a month. The group was established after a number of its members met at Vitruvian Gallery's Thursday night drawing group and posed a question - Drawing naked male models is fun, but has anyone ever started a drawing group where the model and the artists are all naked? It may seem odd at first, but as in most naked situations, after the first 5 minutes of internalized freaking out, its actually quite comfortable
From our experience, when everyone in the room is naked, people seem to feel free to socialize with one-another, and a relaxed atmosphere seems to develop.
The founder of our group, Alex, has left the Washington DC area and will be joining his husband in New York City. I will be taking over administering the group, and updating the blog with scheduled events and recaps of each session.
We'll be featuring drawings from past sessions of models scheduled to appear.
My drawings appear this week, but as time goes on, other members of the group will have their drawings featured here.
For the month of March, we have two sessions scheduled.
Tuesday, March 11, James will be returning to model for us:
Tuesday, March 25, Craig will be returning to model for us:
Sessions start at 7:30 on the dates indicated, but please try to arrive before 7:15 to allow time for set-up.
Suggested donation is $12, and exact change is good karma. Sometimes the sessions are heavily attended, so early arrival is encouraged. If you prefer to draw with easel and/or drawing board, we have limited quantities available but you must bring your own art supplies.
The models occasionally are placed in erotic poses. Occasionally erections occur. These are accepted as a natural occurrence and the participants are encouraged to focus their erotic energies and those of the room into their art.
However we are all adults and participants are expected to act appropriately and respect other participants boundaries or they will be asked to leave.
