Attention Artists!

Studio 203 Art Classroom will be hosting Life Drawing & Beyond again, beginning on Thursday, October 1st. Our sessions will continue every Thursday, from 10 am - 1 pm, through the end of the year, except for holidays. 

Fee:  $15 per session (Must bring exact change.)
Tip money for our models is greatly appreciated.

Face masks are required, and artists must remain at a 6-foot distance from one another, including the model. We do take a 5-10 minute break every 30 minutes, where you can take off your face masks.

Space is limited to 5 artists each week. To reserve your space, you must contact us in advance via email:  redbenchart@gmail.com. Please specify which date(s) you are reserving. This is a first come, first serve basis. If you cannot attend after you have reserved your spot, please contact us ASAP, as there will be a waiting list of artists. Depending on demand, we may open an additional weekday for life drawing.

Our lineup of models includes a couple of new ones. Models, please check the Studio Calendar to see when you are scheduled.

We are excited to start up Life Drawing & Beyond again, and encourage artists to attend. All skill levels are welcome! Even if you are new to sketching or painting, this is the perfect place for you to practice. 

If you have any questions, please contact us HERE.

Thank you all, for your continued support in the arts.
We appreciate you!

We are thrilled to welcome Bill Stevens, of Reimagine Me Studios, Scottsdale, AZ, as our official Workshop Instructor at Red Bench™ Photo Studio, Jerome, AZ. Bill comes to us with a wealth of knowledge in the photography field, along with some of the most talented models in the Phoenix area.

Photographers, mark your calendars:  Saturday, July 11th, from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m., we are hosting Bill's first workshop with the fabulous model, Katisha. 

About the Photographer:

I am a surgeon by day, and a photographer by night, weekends, and any other free moment. And crazy as it sounds, the two fields are metaphysically similar. Both are a blending of art and science. A surgeon who knows biology and technique, but does not know how to share his or her humanity is unable to truly help patients heal. A photographer who understands the physics of light and aperture, but does not connect with their subject creates only soulless images. The biggest difference is that usually, re-shoots are less problematic that a do-over operation!

​My life as a photographer began in earnest about 4 or 5 years ago. I had "dabbled" before that, but never took this art form seriously until then. I now appreciate the complexity and elegant simplicity of this art form. I think it is best summarized by Lisette Model, who said, "Photography is the easiest art, which perhaps makes it the hardest." Our workshop at Red Bench will explore the complexity and elegant simplicity of light and composition, blend art and science, and endeavor to tell nuanced stories with a single image.

We are taking all of the necessary precautions to ensure the health-safety of our clients, guests, and those whom we employ, at Red Bench™ Media, LLC, with regard to the COVID-19 Virus.

1.  Masks are to be worn AT ALL TIMES in the studio.
2.  Social Distancing of at least 6-feet apart.
3.  Must use the hand sanitizer as you enter the photo studio.
4.  No more than 5 people allowed in the studio at any one time.

We appreciate all of the support from our photographers, models, clients and artists during this time, as always. We urge all of you to educate yourselves on the COVID-19 Virus and precautions you can take at home, as well as at your workplaces. 

Thank you, and stay healthy.
