A short discussion and demonstration lead into live-model practice, with warm-up poses, studies of up to 20 minutes and regular breaks. All skill levels are welcome.

The title emphasizes instruction, but the announced teaching has a clear boundary: a short opening discussion and demonstration precede a pose session the listing describes as uninstructed. That distinction matters if you’re choosing between open practice and a class with ongoing feedback.
The event description says the opening discussion and demonstration will cover different approaches to drawing. It does not identify a specific technique or name an instructor, and it does not promise individual critique during the poses.
A live model is part of each session, and the organizer welcomes artists at every skill level. The listing’s combination of a short demonstration and an uninstructed drawing segment is the best guide to how much teaching to expect.

Drawing New York says its live-model sessions meet several times a week, both in person and online, in instructed and uninstructed formats. The group describes its audience as ranging from beginners to professional artists, placing this Friday session within a continuing practice community rather than a published sequence of lessons.

The drawing portion begins with short warm-up poses, then moves to poses lasting up to 20 minutes. A five-minute break comes every 20 minutes, making room for pauses between periods of practice rather than one uninterrupted sitting.
The Nov. 20, 2026, session is scheduled for 6:30-9 p.m. EST. The listing says the session repeats every Friday through Dec. 25, 2026.

The Nov. 20 event listing does not state a price or give reservation instructions. Separate Nov. 6 listings for an instructed figure-drawing session show different prices: $40 on the Drawing New York group page and $45 on Drawing America’s site. Neither confirms the fee for Nov. 20, so check the current event listing before making plans.
