Life Drawing Parties

Toronto's Graphic Stallion Hosts Bachelorette, Retirement & Divorce Parties

— January 17, 2015 — World
The Graphite Stallion studio in Toronto offers life drawing sessions that are a little bit different from the average art class. Rather than being about perfecting your drawing skills, the establishment caters specifically for party events to mark a bachelorette, gay bachelor, divorce, birthday, retirement and even corporate team-building.

Aside from providing the nude models and art supplies, the studio provides different party packages that include interactive instruction, alcohol, light snacks and party hosts. In terms of pricing, it's a lot more costly than going to a local drawing class, but the atmosphere is bound to feel much more fun and relaxed, especially if you're headed with a group of friends. As for the male models that are chosen for the classes, Graphite Stallion describes a recruiting process that evaluates "PECS"—guys must be Professional, Easy on the Eyes, Charming and Sophisticated.
