Gilles models in Monday Mornings' Life class

 On 3 April we had a drawing session with a life model - this time 'Gilles'. There is an aura of sadness around him when he sits, and all the participants somehow got that emotion in most of their work...

 

Again: if you'd like to join this class, why not try it out? Just pop in on a Monday morning, for example 17 April (yes, even on Easter Monday we're drawing!). The model starts posing at 10am, doors open 9.30am and you don't have to bring any materials...

The Portrait Workshop #4/5: Results

We, Cathie van der Stel and Marina Kulik, are hosting a Portrait Drawing Workshop on Friday morning. It is full, with 10 participants - and they are amazing! Just look at these portraits!
One half was created on a piece of black paper with white pen, and the other half on a piece of white paper with a black pencil - and then stuck together:

The last Portrait Workshop will take place coming Friday. We will finish it off by creating a self portrait - I will definitely post the results here!
After the workshop is done, we organise 3 portrait sessions, starting Friday 21 April, where we will have a live model and where all other portrait people are most welcome! Painters, sculptors, drawers, beginners and advanced, the doors will be open. If you want to be put on the infolist, let Marina know via email

Drawing on Monday morning with Pim de Jongh!

 

Pim's still lives are famous among the drawing crowd - and for a reason: they are absolutely stunning; always! Sometimes they are drawn just 'as is' and sometimes there's a certain exercise, like last week!

 With the set up above, the participants were invited to create a clear line drawing, a drawing with a part black, the subject in pure black and from another perspective. All that with the use of east indian ink... Not easy, but interesting and challenging... The group thoroughly enjoyed it!!

If you'd like to participate, you are most welcome to pop in this Monday, 10 April, from 9.30 and until noon...

Drawing Nudes

 Warming up, 1 and 2 minutes per pose

 

Mondays mornings are reserved for drawing! Still life, outside or with a life model. Here is a selection of what we do when there is a model! From one-minute drawings (above) up to one full hour, all participants love it - and after two hours of drawing everyone goes home, tired, but also energized for the week! If you are interested, why not pass by to give it a try? Materials provided, so you don't have to take anything with you... If you want to receive our weekly update, let Marina know and she will add you to the list...
