I never miss the biannual Bay Area Models Guild's marathon, which is scheduled for Sunday, October 12th this year. It's an unparalleled opportunity for artists of all levels to hone their skills and expand their portfolios. The marathon provides a dynamic and diverse range of models, offering a fantastic chance to practice drawing from life. What truly sets this event apart is the variety of poses, ranging from quick, gestural studies that challenge you to capture the essence of a form, to extended, sustained poses that allow for meticulous detail and a deeper exploration of light and shadow. All of this is conveniently located in one accessible venue, making it an incredibly efficient and enriching day for any artist.
