Join us for as long as you’d like to sketch a live model in the galleries of the exhibition Sketch, Shade, Smudge: Drawing from Gray to Black (September 12, 2025–January 18, 2026). Taking inspiration from the themed sections of the exhibition, Brooke Stewart, lecturer at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University, will lead advanced-level artists through experimenting with movement and a variety of drawing techniques, such as shading, darkening, texturing, erasing, freehand drawing, and more.

Feel free to bring your own sketchbook and pencils; only a limited supply of 18 × 18 clipboards, graphite pencils, and individual sheets of 11 × 17 paper will be provided.
