À propos

"Great model with excellent poses; well-organized and controlled session; excellent, friendly host; I was able to focus on the big picture and not get too detailed; good lighting" Participant, May 2020

"I thought it was amazing and I was thrilled to be a part of this innovative experiment. The model was great and I had no problems with anything except my own monitor/camera which isn't the best. The lighting on the model was good. and it was all handled very professionally". Participant, May 2020

Our Online Life Drawing and Portrait Drawing is open to members and non members alike. The same as our in-person sessions, all skill levels are welcome. In fact, beginners or those who can't get out may be even more comfortable working in their own space to begin with. If you have any concerns about group gatherings or our in-person sessions are not available, this is a great option.

Session Formats:

Saturday drop in is life drawing for the first hour and portrait drawing for the second hour.

Monday Nights: variety of poses starting with gestures and leading to a longer pose.

Wednesday Morning Long Pose: the same model holds one pose for 3 weeks in a row. This is great for really studying the pose and doing a longer work - painting, sculpture etc.

Each session will include a warm-up of gestures and short poses followed by a series of progressively longer poses and some midway breaks for the model.

Xchanges Gallery and Studios

Welcome to Xchanges Gallery and Studios, Canada’s oldest artist-run-centre (est. 1967). Located and serving on unceded territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən, Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. The spirit that gave birth to Xchanges began over 50 years ago. A small group of artists envisioned a way to meet the challenges of being an artist. Xchanges persists because it continues to provides support for many of these challenges. This vision rests on solid bones in a structure that has carried it forward through changes over the years to today. As a non-profit charity Xchanges is committed to being of service to the greater community through its artistic and gallery goals and developing its people and supporting creativity. The mandate of Xchanges is to provide affordable studios, present challenging and engaging contemporary art in diverse media whether in our physical spaces or online and virtually, and to support a positive and creative culture in Victoria, BC.
