Life Drawings & Inspiration

Often I get questionnaires from students and one of the questions that frequently come up; where do you find your inspiration? Although it can come from many sources, one thing I always have to mention is other artists’ work. Few things inspire me like exceptional art.

This week I started a Live Figure Drawing group and had the privilege to meet some great local artists and observed their talent. That night I went to bed on such a high. The image I share below is of one of my 10 min drawings.

Talking about inspiration, as soon as I get off this computer I am getting into the car to drive to Washington, DC. Oh how I can’t wait to go and feast in the National Gallery and sculpture garden.

Have a great 4th everyone!

Glad to hear your figure drawing group got off to a strong start!

Here are a couple of new drawings of me from a session on Wednesday evening. It was a fun group.
