Join us for Figure Drawing Group Sessions! This session offers a unique opportunity to hone your drawing skills through the observation of live nude/semi-nude models. In a safe and inclusive environment, participants will delve into the nuanced art of capturing the human body's intricate details, exploring the play of light and shadow, and mastering the fundamentals of proportion and anatomy. Each session is carefully crafted to nurture creativity and enhance technical proficiency, providing both beginners and experienced artists with a space to refine their craft. 
 
Each month has a different theme, and a model or two will pose for artists either nude or partially nude with costuming.
Sessions consist of several short, warm-up poses, a few mid-length poses, and a single sustained pose for the duration of the session.
 
July's theme explores dominant and submissive dynamics. About this month's models:

About the hosting artist:

Black Omi Art Co.

Genea Morrow is a self-taught artist and creative entrepreneur residing in Seattle. Her interest in art began in 2012 but veered in the direction of modeling and photography; it came full circle in a figure drawing class in 2017. She then took the time to fall in love with creating shapes out of shadow work using charcoal as her medium. It wasn’t until 2021 that she started to play in paint. Genea began a fulfilling career co-owning a children’s educational toy store, J.I.L.L.’s Toyshop, and launching Black Omi Art Co. Though her journey wasn’t always easy, she often opens up about her struggles with imposter syndrome and how she continuously works on her insecurities surrounding her late start to paint. She now creates paintings that tell her story, a story heavily influenced by her history with religion and spirituality, overshadowed by her exploration of her sensuality. Her work is centered around creating the feeling of familiarity, power, and freedom. To highlight the internal battles of feminine and masculine energies women may feel.
