Painting from Life with Doug Boomer
Meets at Gertrude School every Friday from 9:30 AM to 12:30 pm.
For those that have not been out to our painting sessions, we meet at the "Historic Gertrude Schoolhouse" on Road 600 (Raymond Road) 1/2 mile off of Hwy. 49 in Ahwahnee. You can sketch, draw, paint, or whatever. Bring your materials out and join us. Artists working in all media are welcome!
The fee for the Friday Painting Group is $7.00 per artist (with a signup sheet) for the three hour session. Models are paid a flat payment of $50.00 and the balance (if any) is kept by YWA to help pay models when there are not enough artists to cover the $50.00 fee.
Artists
should expect to pay models extra if they want extra posing during breaks or
after the regular session (for photos, etc.). Also, if you would like to compensate a model
with a tip, it would be gratefully accepted.
Models are not always available so check with Doug ahead of time if you want to know. Artists working in all media are welcome. Contact Doug Boomer if you have questions.
See you there! Doug Boomer Phone: 642-3648
