This group is an experiment to create a free exchange of modeling and drawing for artists, like myself, who love drawing from life. Group members take turns doing some of the modeling (lightly-clothed or nude) and will have plenty of time to draw. I have drawn from life on and off for the last 15 years or so and also have experience modeling for life drawing classes in the University setting. I think the experience of being on both sides of the coin is valuable and interesting. Details: - All m …

Whether you've drawn from the model before, or this is your first time, everyone is welcome!

Interested in painting or drawing portraits but too shy to ask random strangers? Tired of drawing your loved ones over and over again? This group is for you. Let's get together and take turns sitting for each other. Just to be clear this is NOT a nude figure drawing session (not that I have anything against nude figure drawing). My interest is in faces specifically. I work in mixed media so it's easy for me to bring low maintenance supplies with me like colored pencils, water colors, pastels. Ho …

Welcome to this meetup group - under new management! I have taken over as organizer so we will be moving forward in a bit of a different direction.  Mike previously focused on studio photography but I shoot outdoors more often than not so we will include a lot of natural and outdoor-off camera lighting as well. A bit about me - I started in January 2012 shooting bodybuilding/figure and bikini competitions and have shot several of these across the country in 2012.  I attended several seminar styl …

Let's use open source technology to fix the financial industry! Large financial institutions caused the Great Recession, but regulators have not reformed them. Before the next crisis hits, let's create a suite of open source financial models and feed them with big data. We can use these technologies to figure out which assets are risky and which aren't. Rather than wait for top down financial reform from Washington DC, we can do it from the group up.
