The Peninsula Art League in Gig Harbor offers would-be artists three hours with a costumed model on Wednesdays for free figure drawing, 1-4 p.m. at Skansie Park in downtown Gig Harbor through Sept. 27.  A few easels and paintbrushes are available, but bring your own just in case.  How cool is that?  Call (253) 265-6358 for more information, or hit their Web site. â€" Michael Swan
