Rates for Live-Streamed Online Sessions

During the pandemic Basic Inquiry also began offering live-streamed sessions where you draw a live model over the internet, using Zoom. These are safe, convenient and open to the general/global public, and conducted separate from studio sessions. (No member discounts apply and online sessions cannot be booked with Studio Session tickets.)
