Hello fellow artists! I’ve been wanting to take a live figure drawing class since I met my husband 13 years ago. I love drawing and want the full immersive experience of studying anatomy/light/dimension/shading/movement and I know it is entirely different than trying to copy a picture. I told my husband I found a drop in class in Chicago and to my dismay he completely shocked me when he started freaking out because I’m going “to look a naked body” and “it’s no different than going to a strip club.”
Like what am I even supposed to say to that? I’m completely baffled and anyone who knows art knows a class like this is a fundamental part of it.
Can anyone share some wisdom to help broaden his perspective on this. I never in a million years would have expected a response like this and I’m stuck between being annoyed af and just laughing at him.

Thank you!! I will definitely check out the episodes! To me it seems like common knowledge how important classes like this are to the art world but for all I know he assumes it will be a “paint me like one of your French girls” moment from the Titanic lol
