I have been running an open life drawing session at the
Art Institute of Washington (AiW) in Arlington, Virginia for 5 years. After a break for the holidays the sessions resume this Thursday (January 20, 2011) evening from 6:00-9:00PM. The sessions are a joint effort between the AiW and the
Illustrators Club. The sessions are attended by AiW students and faculty, local artists and members of the Illustrators Club. Drawing the figure frequently is a great way to improve general drawing skills, observational skills and a way to experiment with new media.
There are weekly sessions at AiW on Friday evenings, run by faculty member Tom Broad. At the
Art Institute of Northern Virginia in Sterling, Virginia, faculty member
Jason Axtell runs sessions every Tuesday evening from 6:00-9:00PM.
To learn about other open life drawing sessions in the Washington, DC metro area check out the
Figure Models Guild.

This is great I really like howthe color is making a statement for the texture
ReplyDeleteThis is great, i love the light hitting the model on the right of each picture. I like how you showed the lighting texture by using lighter colors of the original and smoothly blending it in.
