Figure Drawing

On Sunday February 23rd, I organized a figure drawing session at the

Headwaters Art Society's space at Discovery Center in Canal Flats.

We had a full house for our instructor Cathy Parkes. Her daughter Stephanie

was our model for the afternoon. Together they made the afternoon a huge

success. 

Cathy led our group through exercises in contours, negative shapes and circles.

Great Job Cathy and Stephanie! Cheers!

I am very excited about the upcoming session for figure drawing with Cathy Parkes.

We had a lot of fun at our previous session. Cathy has years of experience as an animator and will instruct and critique for us this February. Table space is limited so register soon to ensure you have a spot for this event. 

Cheers!

On Sunday, November 3rd, 2013, the Headwater's Art group hosted a figure drawing session in the new art space at Discovery Center in Canal Flats. We had 9 people attend from 1:00pm to 4:00pm. Paula Cravens began the session with some instruction and examples for our group. We did exercises in 1, 2, 5 and 10 minute sketches. Participants used pencil, pen, cante, paint and charcoal. The afternoon sped by and before we knew it, it was time to bid our gracious model goodbye and enjoy a coffee and chat with colleagues. We plan to hold another figure drawing session in the new year and I will post the information here on my blog. Cheers!

FIGURE  DRAWING

 

 

Our art group did some figure drawing the previous

week. These are some of the sketches I made of our

model that night. We made sketches in 1, 3 and 5

minute intervals. It was good practice and I enjoyed

the exercises very much. We plan to do it again soon.
