Monday Night Figure Drawing

Every Monday night a group us get together for figure drawing at Green Lantern Studios. An exhibit of our drawings will be up at Green Lantern through the end of the month. Artists are me, Richard Moninski, Charlie Baker, Linda Kelen, Jack Ford, and Kate McQuade.

Each week we do a half dozen short poses for warm up then launch into a single two and a half hour pose. Everybody works in the medium of their choice. Even though I repeatedly swear I am going to branch out and try something new, so far I seem totally stuck on graphite.

Here are a few partial images of drawings I have done on Monday nights...the originals are too big for my scanner. One of these days I'll have to get around to photographing them full frame.

Until Richard suggested this show I had not spread out my drawings and looked at them as a group - an interesting exercise indeed!

The show is a treat. Quite fascinating to see how differently each artist interprets the very same subject (albeit from slightly different angles)...and how remarkably consistent our styles are.

Thank you to Richard for giving us the opportunity to show our drawings!
