  Maria is your host for Thursday evening long-pose sessions, where you'll work beside a small group of long-time regulars and a few newbies most weeks. We welcome all mediums, oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel, pen and ink, pencils, iPad and even silverpoint should you choose. This session being on a work night, there are often easel spaces available, so you don't have to decide long in advance, but be sure to register just to be sure there's space, and so that we'll be expecting you.

  BFAC is unique in Boston for offering three month-long sessions per week, each lasting a full month (i.e., each session meets 4 or 5 times–depending on the number of times the day occurs in the month–on the same day for an entire month). This is your opportunity to develop your skills, explore in depth your intention as a representational artist. If you've studied in college or in an atelier setting, this is the place to practice, practice, practice. Although all levels of experience are welcome, you'll find that the company in these sessions is collegial, a little more serious than Monday nights, and you'll be deeply rewarded.
