Sketch Club

 

Sketch Club at Sage.  Great session with Lorenzo, a king-like model.  Too bad they still had the AC on!  It was freezing.  Good there were many heaters for the model. 

my favorite model

  

From sketch club.  My favorite model, Erica.  Takes graceful and classical poses.  Effortlessly. 

Jaimie... sort of.

The drawing today is from sketch class on Monday night.  Took some liberties with the model who was very thin and petite. 

a welcome weekly exercise

Sara, one of the favorite models. what joy! too bad the class stops when school is on vacation.

In these days of doom and gloom, nothing like 3 hours of total immersion in drawing from the model. not ONE thought about money, about the future, about the economy. Just the pure joy of the pen gliding on the page, of the brush adding a bit here, taking off a bit there. The page was blank and suddenly there is a figure on it. Magic!

a favorite model

Faith is one of my favorite models. always inventive in her poses and yet looking so natural and graceful. she gives a lot of herself; even her eyes participate in the pose. when the model gives out so much energy, it makes for a fantastic session.

period of no art work. not lacking the time. just not getting to it. will have to push myself. at least there is sketch class. not my favorite model last night, so played with the line. fun for a few poses and then they were all... how shall i call them? exhausted poses.

paul at rest and at work

sketch class is always such a joy. and such an important practice i feel, whether one wants to use the skill directly into one's art or not. i, for one, do not paint or draw realistic figures and yet, i feel my line, my sense of proportions, shapes, movement, so much keener when keeping up with the weekly practice.

sketch class was great fun. decided to give paul some clothes for a change. new perspective.
