More Red Hair Poses

Attendance continues to be near capacity at our Tuesday night drawing group with 14 artists showing up last night. After struggling all night with mediocre sketching efforts, I ditched the idea of trying to do a “good” drawing and just went for “bold and stylized.”

I'm getting some drawings ready for a show of nudes early next year. I might include some charcoal-on-newsprint originals, but most pieces will be images that originated as charcoal-on-newsprint life drawings, enhanced digitally, then made into limited edition prints on paper, canvas, or aluminum.

Meanwhile, a big life drawing event happens this Saturday in Santa Fe at the Center for Contemporary Art, in the Munoz Waxman Gallery: Three Muses Drawing Extravaganza. 

Three models, 4 hours, with light refreshments, $18/artist. 

Around 45 artists have responded so it should be a great event. It might be the first of its kind in Santa Fe, as far as I know. I've been to all-day events like this in London, with a dozen or more models posing at once. 

So, I hereby proclaim Santa Fe to be the London of the Southwest.
