The Open Studio Portrait Co-op provides opportunity to work independently from live portrait models in a relaxed, collegial atmosphere. We bring to the studio professional models as well as subjects new to posing. Our models might occasionally return to their pose for more than one session to enable portrait studies to progress toward completion while working from life. Co-op members bring a diverse level of artistic backgrounds with the ability to work independently, as these workshops do not include instruction. Members work at their own pace, drawing or painting with materials of their preference. The managing of portrait studio sessions may occasionally be alternated among experienced members. The usual model fee paid by attendees is a modest $7 - $10 per 3-hour session. If work space permits, people registered for any of the three Maryland Hall drawing/painting co-ops are generally welcome to attend sessions of the other two open studio co-ops (morning figure/evening figure/morning portrait) by paying the model fee for sessions they attend. Artwork from the portrait and figure co-ops has been displayed periodically at Maryland Hall. For more information, please contact Sandy Cohen at sjcportraits@gmail.com.
