| What have I been doing for a month? Well…. first there was a Saturday figure drawing workshop by Heather Clements at Studio b., followed by the regular Wednesday night figure drawing session, a trip to Chattanooga with two friends to do a 6-mile stand-up paddle race, and then the opening of Studio ... |
| Our model this week at Studio b.‘s regular weekly figure drawing session stood on a ladder during the warm-up drawings and the shorter warm-up poses, and she also posed up on a table. Usually our model is on a short platform or even on the floor, so this change in perspective was a rare treat. I enjoyed the challenge ... |
| Different participants in the figure drawing sessions at Studio b. may have different expectations. Some are drawing in preparation for a painting, some for technical skill and craftsmanship, some to stretch their creativity, some to improve their ability to see, and some are attempting to complete a finished drawing.
I don’t think there is anything that challenges ... |
| Our model for Figure Drawing at Studio b. this week brought a black hat that I just loved. She used it in almost all of the warm-up poses, but then for the longer poses, she switched to a sequence without the hat. Fist she posed just standing in the pool, then wetting her hair under one ... |
| You would think that when you go to the same activity, week in and week out, that it would become predictable, and perhaps even boring.
Not so with figure drawing, especially at Studio b. We had the same exceptional model for the 2nd week, who clearly was invested in our work, being aware ... |
| At our Figure Drawing session at Studio b., Thursday this week, we drew in the open air, in the courtyard by the pool. Studio b. is a wonderful venue for events of all sorts, including many a reception for any number of creative pursuits. The activity often spills over into the courtyard where the pool and ... |

We drew a female model at Studio b. this week at the regular weekly figure drawing session. She’s been there before. She is challenging to draw well because she is so fit and toned.
Depending on the pose, sometimes it seems like the model has 6 or 7 legs and arms and at least 40 fingers. Drawn ... |
| The model who posed for our figure drawing session at Studio b. last week returned this week. For the past four months, we’ve had a different model nearly every session. That has added to the challenge in that every week we have to become familiar with a different body type or different proportions. Having the same ... |
| To a figure drawing artist, the title of this post is redundant, but the non-artist may not know that we use live models in figure drawing. To this point, I have been a bit of a fanatic about it, allowing errors and inaccuracies to be a part of the final drawing.
But I am thinking that I would like to take ... |

In the last post I showed the drawing above left, which I was unable to finish during the 30-minute pose. I worked on it a little this evening, to give the hair, arms, and hands some form. Without seeing the light on the form, I suppose my effort is passable, but the experience was hollow. It felt like mere craftsmanship ... |
