Drawing

Marcie...a sketch
Drawing is just about the most fun that is possible for me! Love it, love it, love it. It is also provides the necessary drafting skill that underlies paintings. Tomorrow, Saturday, I will be leading a mini-workshop at Summit Artspace in Akron in collaboration with the "Women's Work" exhibit. It is from 1-3 pm and we will be drawing from a live model. Our goal will be drawing like a painter, rather than a drawer.....we will avoid defining lines as long as possible and will concentrate, instead, on mass. ( I am picturing a vague ultrasound image here) And.........BTW, our model Marcie is the star of an Agatha Christie play at Coachhouse Theatre that just opened............"Appointment with Death". She is so very good at being so very nasty. There are so many wonderful things to do in the Akron area.....hope to see you there.
