Happy Thanksgiving...

 No drawing, of course.  See you December 1st.

Welcome back, Lady E

Another big group, an 8/5 split between regulars and students.  But the best part was getting Lady E back into the fold.  She hasn't missed a beat.  Great night...

Big group

 For the first time students outnumbered regulars (9-7).  I hope everyone had as much fun drawing Lady S as I did.

Sunday was great

 We had 6 artists and 3 students attend our Sunday portrait session.  Some painting, some drawing and a combination of the two (I'm looking at you Mr. Kennedy).  A quick three hours and I think it was a pretty successful return to the single pose session. 

If anyone wants to send me pics of what they got done, please send them my way.  I'll update this post so everyone can see what was done.  Thanks for coming, all.  We'll do it again.

Update:  Will Crain got me a shot of a multi-image page he did during the session.

Another full house

 Lady S did another wonderful job for the eight regulars and the three students.  Kevin was in control of the lighting and I think we got some pretty good shadows out of it.  Hope to see everyone tomorrow (November 6) for the single pose, 3 hour portrait session.  1 - 4  if anyone wants to really did their artistic teeth into a single sitting.

Let's try the Sunday Portrait session again

 We had a mis-start last Sunday, a technical problem out of our control.  We're going to give this another try this coming Sunday, 1 to 4.  Hope to see you there.

Eight artists, no students

 

Eight artists, no students...  what gives?  I hope there were papers to write or projects due.  Actually, we've been quite happy with the student turnout so far.  I hope this bodes well for the coming years with the art program.  An interest in the fundamentals of realism, specifically understanding the forms and spatial relations of the human form only further cements the foundation of a great art education.  Look no further than Gustav Klimt.  Before he abstracted the human form into those wonderous images he was an absolute rock solid figure drawer.  Sheesh, look at me go on.  Hope to see everyone Sunday for the portrait session with Miss P.
