Art Announcements

Exhibitions, events, and stories from the world of life drawing and beyond. These are also shared on the artist section of the website, only the newest ones are featured in the newsletter. If you have something you want to share, let us know!

Some pages only contain a gestural pose of maybe one of two minutes. Other pages may have twenty minutes of your life etched on them. So a single drawing session is approximately two hours manifest as fifteen pages. I draw at least once a week, so in a single year the pile stands 780 pages high ... (continue reading)
