At Big Object Studio on Nov. 6, the three-hour session welcomes first-timers and artists at all experience levels. Bring your own drawing or painting materials (no oils) and beverage; admission is $20 cash or $25 via Venmo.
All times are local to the venue · America/New York
Fridays, 7:00–10:00 p.m. The event page lists the Nov. 6, 2026 edition; the series page also lists a Friday event on Oct. 30, 2026. Arrive 10–15 minutes early; poses begin promptly at 7:00 p.m.
Greenpoint Figure Drawing’s Friday gathering is set up for participants who want a live model, not a lesson: attendees choose how to work while moderators keep the session moving.
The three-hour session begins with quick warm-up poses, then gradually lengthens the pose until a final one-hour study closes the evening. The change in pace gives participants both short drawing opportunities and time for a more extended look at the model.
This is an uninstructed session, not a class. First-timers and people at all experience levels are welcome, but participants should expect to direct their own drawing or painting.

David Bell and Joe Scarpulla moderate the sessions and run Big Object animation studio. Both are stop-motion animators and visual artists; Bell also teaches at Parsons and SVA. Their backgrounds add context to the gathering, but the drawing itself remains uninstructed.

The studio asks participants to keep conversation quiet while the model poses, silence phones until the break and not photograph the model. If an adjustment is needed during the long pose, tell the monitor without disrupting the room. Participants are also asked to clean up after themselves.
