Life drawing series with RF. Alvarez
Lovers is a series of monthly figure drawing sessions taught by artist RF. Alvarez, exploring the human form through light, structure, and storytelling – with a mezcal tasting to accompany.
Each two-hour candlelit studio session will follow a classic academic structure:
1-minute gesture drawings to warm up
5-minute studies focusing on gesture, value, anatomy, and rhythm
A final 20-minute sustained pose for deeper observation
After the drawing sessions, guests are encouraged to linger and discuss their experience with others
Guests are provided all art-making materials as well as a selection of three mezcals curated by Alvarez to match the evening’s themes. Artists of all levels welcome.
An intimate, immersive evening of art making and mezcal tasting.
The Next Session
Sessions are built around a central theme determining model choice, artistic focus, and mezcal selection. Bookings are available one month before, on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Hesperides - nymphs of the evening garden - serve as inspiration for this session, which introduces a group composition with three female models arranged in shifting configurations. This session places special emphasis on shadow play and the interaction of light across multiple figures, inviting artists to observe how overlapping forms create depth, rhythm, and atmosphere within a shared composition.
$120 for a single ticket
Tickets include a reserved seat with drawing board and personal lamp, unlimited high-quality charcoal and paper, and a tasting of 3 mezcales curated by RF. Alvarez.
