Suite E Life Drawing Group Coquitlam BC
| Suite E General Information |
Suite E is a non-profit artists’ society (founded in 1977) holding weekly life drawing sessions with professional models. Suite E welcomes people interested in drawing however attendees should have some drawing experience as instruction is not given.
The female and male models are professionals who usually pose unclothed. For some sessions the model will be partially draped or in costume.

Drop-in’s and new members are very welcome.
| | The name "Suite E" originated from the room on Brunette Street where the original group first held their sessions.
| Sessions:
The Group will alternate the session type, multiple poses and sustained pose.
1) Multiple Poses: pattern starts with one minute, then two, five and ten minutes poses. Three different half hour poses, with short breaks for the model, complete the night. A 20 minute break for everyone is scheduled for around 8:30 PM.
2) Sustained Pose: The session begins with
some quick warm-up poses and then a pose is taken for the remainder of
the night. The model rests every half hour with a 20 minute break for
everyone at 8:30 PM.
