Back to work with Lady S

 

 

Another wonderful evening of drawing, and in Seth's case, painting the lovely Lady S.  Now, let's see if we can make it two in a row.

Problems abound for our little group

  I wasn't given enough notice by our former model to post a cancellation of Thursday's session.  We are now down to one model, the wonderful Lady S.

 We also have intermittent access to Miss P...

  

  However, other obligations keep her availability at a minimum, so we are now running low on choices.  I don't want to burn out Lady S or Miss P so I am asking the group to keep their eyes open for possibilities to replenish our ranks of models.  I'll be reaching out to a couple of former models who may have leads and will be posting this recruitment poster in a couple of locations.  

  I am also considering hiking the model fee from $5 to $7 so that we can offer the models more compensation and better compete with MSU-B and their pay scale.  For as long as I've been drawing with the various groups the fee has remained $5 (at least 27 years).  Let's just say that tariffs have forced my hand.

  I appeal to any and all artists who may have contacts who may be willing to work with our group.

 

FINALLY!!!!

 Two weeks of no figure drawing is just intolerable!  Back at it last night.

 Thanks, Lady S.  What a great evening of drawing with a terrific group of artists.  In fact, here are two pieces by Will and another by Seth.

 

Is it Groundhog Day????

 Two models out with seasonal illness (i.e. Cold & Flu) and our third option is otherwise occupied with a class.  This leaves us with no other options but to (drum roll please)...

Cancel Tonight's Session

So sorry but...

 ...no session tonight.  Technical difficulties on this day before Valentines Day.  Stay warm and we'll start back up in a week.

Small group so we had some fun

Never fear, democracy isn't dead after all.  We took a vote and changed our standing routine, going with two 25+ minute poses and finished with our usual 45 minute closing pose.

Three outta four ain't bad

 Three sessions out of the four we had scheduled... I'll take it.  Thanks to Miss P for her usual outstanding effort in support of our shared passion for drawing the figure.  A couple of students came in which was great to see.

 

A couple from Mr. Will Crain.

 

Another one. This one is from Samm.
 

Seth Remmich (sorry for the low resolution, I snatched this from Instagram)

A snafu

 We had a technical problem last night.  If anyone dropped by after about 7:20 pm, I apologize.  We voted to call it a night due to a lack of a model.  We'll try again Thursday the 30th.

Lady S saves the day

 

 

 

 

A small group but notable for the return of Sara to the stable of artists.  In fact, here are a couple of her sketches.

And here's Will's second contribution of the year.

2025's first posting

Will's first contribution of the new year.

   Lady S got our year started off right.  A very pleasant evening of drawing and catching up.  Let's keep the good times rolling as 2025 keeps right on truckin'.
