Winter Palace Studio

Figure DrawingPortrait Painting

Georgetown and Bethesda studio offering regular figure-drawing and portrait sessions with live models, open-format, by appointment.

Editor's note

Sessions are open-format rather than instructed, which makes them most useful for adults who already have some drawing practice and want regular access to a live model.

What to expect your first visit

Sessions are open-format with a live model and no instruction, most useful for adults who already have some drawing practice. Book by calling 301-461-8874.

  • Georgetown has no Metro station; the nearest is Foggy Bottom (Blue/Orange/Silver Line), about a 15-minute walk
  • Bring your own drawing materials: paper, pencils or charcoal, and a drawing board or easel.
  • Sessions are not instructed; come prepared to work independently at your own pace

Best for

Adults with some prior drawing experience who want regular figure-drawing or portrait sessions with live models in an informal open-studio setting.

What to expect

Open-format sessions with a live model and no formal instruction. You set up, draw, and work at your own pace for the duration of the session. There is no critique, demonstration, or structured feedback. The format is useful for practice, not for learning to draw from scratch.

Self-directed and quiet. Less a class and more a shared studio session with a live model.

What to bring

Your own drawing materials: pencils, charcoal, paper, sketchbook, and a drawing board or portable easel. Nothing is provided.
