Adults in the MFA


On Wednesdays between 6 to 9 PM "Drawing in the Galleries" is the program which offers open drawing sessions for all ages. Drop in! Paper, pencils and a stool are provided. En plus - a life model poses patiently to inspire your creativity.

If you can write, you can draw!



As a rule, only pencils are allowed to be used in the galleries. To better understand the paintings an instructor with containers filled with all kinds of colors will explain the process from grinding them and mixing them with a oil.

A sampler of a stretched canvas demonstrates how it has to be prepared before the actual painting can begin.

This gives a new perspective on the appreciation of art!
