When I got serious about painting in 2014, I took a class at Pratt Institute that featured drawing and painting from a live model. I was instantly hooked. There is nothing quite as compelling as having the permission to visually study another human being, and create something that's not quite that person yet not quite myself-- a 3rd independent being that shimmers on the page. Quite a lot of my work at Art Students League in New York was drawing and painting from models, mostly under the guidance of Mary Beth McKenzie and Costa Vavagiakas.
Here in Port Townsend, I am so pleased to have found Quimper Arts, a dynamic self-organizing group that generates opportunities to work from life-- people (and occasionally animals!) at the Masonic Lodge, and outdoors all around the Quimper peninsula.
I also paint "regular people"-- if you'll sit for me live for 3 sessions, you can have the resulting painting!
