Took some time off before our annual Lake George vacation and made a
pilgramage to Spring Studio in NYC. Shamless plug for Spring Studio and
Minerva: For 25 years, she's been running this community of figurative
artist. They offer 3 sessions a day of live model drawing/painting.
Some times instructed if you'd like, some longe poses, some short
gesture poses. Even better is the community of friendly, kind and
supportive artists you'll find there. Minerva let me help paint the
walls of the old location in return for some free drawing sessions when I
was a poor post-grad. They are now close to being priced out of NYC
entirely. Please visit their go-fundme page and help keep this place
alive! https://www.gofundme.com/minervasdrawingstudio
3-4 days of drawing, and drawing ALL day. 3 hour sessions, 3 times a day. OOF. Exhausting, but in a good way. Made the most of it. Had to catch a 7-730 train to get in by 9 am. Got home around 10-11pm.
Below is day one. No poses were longer than 2 mins, which was disappointing, but tried to make the most of it. 9x12 drawings on sketch, charcoal and toned paper with carb-othello, charcoal and nu-pastel. Below that the quick studies.
