Pretty good turnout at drawing last night. I think that there were 10 artists which isn't too bad. The model was great!

Our drawing session has started up again in a new location, the Art Center, Corvallis, Oregon on Friday evenings. I'm happy to see it start up again but coming into spring, I know that the participation will dwindle again.

Sketch of Cocker Spaniel, in ink on paper

Cocker Spaniel Sketch

ink on paper

10" x 10"

I was asked to do an artist demo at the Fall Festival this past weekend (September 28, 2014) so I did a drawing figuring it would be the easiest to leave and come back to as I talked with people.

Drawing #021114, male model study, in ink, clothed

Drawing #021114
by Carolee Clark
ink on paper
17" x 14"

This model was nude and probably wouldn't be caught dead in the shorts that I drew on him :)

Our Corvallis Oregon, community artist group is having trouble surviving. We are not getting enough artists to pay for the models and the session might not go next term. It's very sad. How can this be? The cost is so cheap $25 (or $30) for 10 sessions! Students can drop in for $1. What an opportunity to practice one's skills for so little outlay!

Tell me, would you come to an open drawing session for $2.50 once a week to practice drawing the figure?

There were only three artists and the model for last night's drawing session because of the slippery roads. This did mean that parking was easier to come by though.

If I were to do a painting of this study I would call it "Long and Lovely." Detail of drawing below.

It isn't necessary to use fresh paper with each drawing :) These quick sketches are to keep skills sharp and I don't use them for anything other than this.

Drawing #041513, quick drawing, female, clothed in ink

Drawing #041513

ink on paper

12" x 13"

This was one of the quick drawings I did yesterday morning. I have been working on the backs of old watercolor paintings just to use up some of the paper (and because I ran out of large sketchbooks) so the paper was rough and dirty in places. She had a flower hat on which made the sketch kind of interesting.
