The season’s shifting light brings new energy to the studio—warm lamps against cool air, soft conversations over charcoal dust, the quiet rhythm of sketching bodies at ease. Join us this Saturday, November 8th, for our November Nude Art Salon: a private, clothing-optional evening of art-making, connection, and presence.

For this month’s gathering, we’re excited to introduce a collaborative project called “Masculine Mapping.” We’ll use large sheets of paper to trace relaxed silhouettes of each other, then fill these outlines with autumnal color, textures, and words—exploring the real shapes of masculinity and vulnerability in our lives. Scar, tattoo, tension, softness: where does your story live in your body? Each outline becomes both a self-portrait and a witnessed portrait, inviting us to see and be seen in community.

No experience is necessary—many guests arrive nervous and leave glowing. Bring your favorite drawing materials or just yourself and a willingness to participate. Nudity is required, but this is not a sexual space. It’s about embodiment, gentle observation, and artful connection among queer men, trans men, and AMAB folks.

We’ll begin with introductions and grounding, then warm up with a few quick sketches before moving into our collaborative “Masculine Mapping” session. Whether you’re drawing, tracing, or simply holding space, every body here becomes part of the artwork.

Space is limited. RSVP in advance through events.salonnaturale.art or email david@salonnaturale.art for details and location.

Bring a towel to sit on, some art materials, and curiosity about what could bloom when we show up, unguarded, together.

See you in the warm light, among bodies being exactly as they are.

October’s Salon saw new attendees and some sexy poses for the artists to draw inspiration from.

The Douglas Studio continues to deliver beautiful backdrops and lighting. Thanks again to our generous host, Jeremy G - for opening his home to us and for inviting Sean, a very talented and handsome friend of his. He gave us some sexy yoga poses to draw and photograph. Check out some photos of his incredible wood-working talent below!

Hey everyone! And thanks for being a paying subscriber!

What an incredible afternoon at our August Nude Art Salon!

Our brand-new event space at The Douglas Studio was bursting with light and creative energy. Huge thanks to our generous host, Jeremy G - not only for opening his gorgeous home to us, but for bravely stripping down and joining the fun!

We kicked things off with Johnathan W and Chris D modeling for our first round, (some beautifully tender and sexy poses I might add 😈), followed by a pose from Jeremy G himself! (Jeremy just recently started nude modeling for other art events). Finally, Michael C closed the afternoon with a few poses for the artists to capture.

Meanwhile, Chris H and I snapped plenty of photos (scroll down to see!), while Daniel B brought art into the kitchen with homemade chocolate chip cookies - fresh from the oven.
