Only three of us attended so we changed things up. Candace got to run the evening and we had about 15 gesture poses and two 20ish minute poses followed by the normal 45 minute pose to finish the night.
I'm wondering if the recent group text I sent confused the populace. We are having a new model work for us and she is coming up from Sheridan to do so. I didn't intend for anyone to think that there wasn't a session last night. I'll do better in the future. Hope to see all y'all next week.
Another enjoyable night with Samm leading the way. As always, stop in and sharpen your skills with The Black Hand Group.
There just ain't no other way to say it but the St. Louis symposium was the best art experience I've had. Robert Liberace, Oliver Sin and Shane Wolf were the 2d artists who headlined the 3 day event and Alicia N. Ponzio, Kevin Chambers & Brian Booth Craig were the 3D artists who created for us. The stars of the entire event were the models. Anya and Stephan are Cirque du Soleil performers who gave us the most awe inspiring poses, many of which there was no chance to capture in life. Nora is a local model who has worked with Shane for a couple of years and gave us some wonderful long poses. Will, Tess, and others also modeled on the mezzanine for smaller groups. I drew Will on the first day but afterward focused on the main models. Below are some of my efforts. I will cherry pick the ones to share.
I cannot stress enough how impressive the entire event was and I have already signed up for the second symposium where Dan Thompson has been the first 2D artist to sign on and Andrea Morani is the first top tier model to say yes. This will be another outstanding event. Sign up if you want a fantastic three days with top notch artists and models. I know I can't wait. The Figure Society
I was attending The Figure Society's inaugural symposium in St. Louis last week. Wow, but more on that in another post. Seth and Will shared their images from last Thursday's session. Thanks to Jeff and Samm for making it happen while I played in the midwest. Enjoy.
