Open Life Drawing Sessions at the Art Institute of Washington

Open life drawings sessions at the Art Institute of Washington have started up again. On Thursday we had a wonderful model and a good group of artists, faculty and students drawing together. Here are a few pieces created during the session.

Open life Drawing Sessions

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.
