We are a group of artists at various stages of development from beginner to professional. We meet every Monday at 5:30 pm in the Montgomery Library. We each pay $10 to cover the cost of the model. All are welcome to attend and enjoy the friendly atmosphere of the group. While drawing we chat and listen to background music chosen to fill in but not interfere with concentration. We often bring our recent works in for the group to see and comment on. We all have a positive attitude about each other, and support each others’ efforts.
