Go Figure!

It was a great night for life drawing and many thanks to our model, Felix, for his perfect poses - every time. Thanks also to attending artists for your support.

I have organized a wet session for this Saturday, May 5th from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. at the Purina Tower. It should be a great session in a wonderful space, with terrific north light and perfect model. You will need to register for this session, so please let me know if you will be attending. This session will be $15 per person, bring your own easel, paint supplies (no solvents allowed) and chair. The door will be locked at 10, to allow artists to work uninterrupted.

Relax!

The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery.
Francis Bacon

This Monday's session seemed even more mellow and laid back. Maybe it was the much needed rain or cooler weather that toned things down. Our thanks to Keith, our muse for the evening, and thanks to all who attended for such a great night.

Hot Times!

We welcomed a new artist last night, got to catch up with an artist who's been out of town (for way too long) and had a wonderful time doing what we love.
Our thanks to our model for the evening, Anna Page, for inspiring such great work from everyone with her beautiful poses.

THINGS WE CAN USE: If anyone has a tall stool (without a back) and a fan (to cool the artists, without freezing the model) that you're willing to donate, please contact me. We're also always looking for the perfect (cheap) chaise, if anyone sees or hears of something ... let me know!

I'll be sending out an email soon with date, time, location and details for a wet session in May.

I hope you'll join us next week, Keith will be posing for us on Monday, April 23rd.

Recumbent Nudes

There were some wonderful drawings created this week and we talked about some future events for Figure Drawing. We'll have a wet session coming up, at the perfect place, thanks to some very generous friends and perhaps even an exhibit of our work from the sessions - Nudes!

Our thanks to Janet, our always perfect model and my thanks to all of the Life Drawing regulars who come every week. There is no better exercise that develops your drawing and observational muscles than working from a live model.

Congratulations to Sally Rhone-Kubarek for her wonderful (and very successful)show. You have until the end of April to see her work at Art First - 824 Caroline Street.

Anna Page will be posing for us on Monday, April 16th.
