Samm +6

A great session to take us into our first scheduled break of the summer.  Samm always comes through for us with some elegant and beautiful poses.  Last night was no different.  Thanks to Candace and Jeff for sharing.

July schedule

 Time to take into account that summer messes with artistic intention.  Here is the every other week schedule for the month of July.  We'll revisit the attendance (although it's been pretty good so far) and make a plan for August when the time comes.

 

                                                   July 9, 2026: Meeting as usual

                                                   July 16, 20263: No session

                                                   July 23, 2026: Meeting as usual

                                                   July 30, 2026: No session 

   We hope to see you all next week.  I know people's schedules get a bit messy with the warmer weather and all of the events that get planned.  Just know that we are still here.

 

 

Dylan + 7

 

A decent July crowd came to draw and benefit from the modeling of Dylan.  Thanks to to Candace, Ron and Jeff for sharing some of their work this week.  We will meet next week and then do an off one week /on one week schedule for the rest of the month.  I'll post the schedule soon.  Be sure to drop in on the 9th as it will be the last chance until the 23rd to draw from the live model.

An evening with Samm

 Samm returned to the platform and we had a productive night with a great model to draw from.  A couple of new artists dropped in.  We hope they drop in again.  Thanks, Jeff, for sharing.

Small group for Dylan

 

Charcoal Study by Jeff Schaezle 

Only four artists benefited from Dylan's long road trip into Billings.  For those of you who want to avail yourselves of her efforts on our behalf, she will be back July 2 and then not again until August.  Dylan is what might be called a limited time offer.  We are grateful for her willingness to make the round trip from Wyoming.  Really a great night for The Black Hand Group.

Dylan is back in town

Despite a hang up at the train crossing that delayed Dylan, we had a very nice evening of sketching.  I think the wait was worth it.

Welcome back, Samm

 

 

It was great having Samm back for the evening.  I think that some pretty good stuff was done by the artists in attendance.  Hope to see everyone next week.
