Fee for entry: $15 (or more if you wish to give)

Snacks are provided but feel free to bring something to share if you wish. 

Bring your own materials. Easels and drawing boards are available.

The model will be lit with photographer's lights. If you wish to photograph the model for reference, you must speak directly to the model and work out rates. It is suggested you bring a model release form with you if you intend to publish photographs. This model has requested discretion-blurring, so he will be unlikely to allow you to photograph his face.

Looking forward to tomorrow (Saturday.)

*** NDG - 2nd Anniversary Meeting Scheduled *** March 21, 2015 * 4:00-6:00 PM***

As a club, we've been meeting now for 2 years.  Its been an interesting ride so far and hopefully the journey will continue.

We have a new MeetUp out there now for those who need an app to remind them of events:

http://www.meetup.com/Naked-Drawing-Group-of-Washington-DC/events/221252486/

We are still meeting in the same space:

Vitruvian Gallery
734 S 7th Street SE
Second Floor
Washington DC

http://vitruviangallery.com/

There is parking available in nearby lots on Barracks Row and on the street. We are also walking distance from two Metro Stations. Check the gallery website for which would be more convenient for you.

Fee for entry is $15 but as we may have a second model on the roster for the day, please consider contributing more towards expenses.

For our Second Anniversary, we have the potential to have two models pose. Depending on how many of you show up will determine whether or not the second model joins the pose.

The primary model for this session is John. He was the model who started off NDG with us, draws with us on occasion, is a great model and an all-around nice guy.

The second model is Nate. He worked with us in our February session.

We have special guests who may also appear. :)

Snacks will be provided but feel free to bring something to share if you wish.

Easels are currently provided. We may be changing plans on that and it will be discussed at the event. Please bring your own supplies and refrain from any which require solvents or aerosols as we are not equipped to handle them.

Please arrive 15 minutes early to allow time for disrobing, set-up and a bit of socializing before we begin our session. As we are now opening membership to a semi-public service (MeetUp), there may be more members than usual so arrive early if you want a guaranteed spot.

The model(s) will be lit with a photographer's lighting system. If you wish to photograph the models for drawing reference, you must discuss the terms with the model. It would also be recommended you have the model sign a release if you wish to use or publish their photograph. 

Looking forward to drawing with you all tomorrow and continuing our journey together.

Thanks and as always...
