Pittsburgh Figure Drawing Art Community Group
|
As an armature artist I look for ways to refine my skills. One of the ways to do this is to understand the human form. This group is open to all skill levels and ages. The focus of this group will to be to aid members in helping each other in this quest of self improvement. All artists can understand how difficult it can be to find models that are understanding. In this spirit all members will be required at some point to be the model, clothed. If one is willing to nude there privacy and safety will be paramount. No mater what the state of the modle these events will not be open to gauckers. So, if interested i will have a couple meetings for input where we sit around and brain storm locations, giuldlines, and dates/times. *NOTE*

"Hi - I'm an oil painter, and I mostly do portraits or figures. I also draw/paint in pastels. I'm always looking for more live model events, so I'm looking forward to being a part of the group."
-
"Ive been drawing off and on over the years. I really enjoy it and would like to improve on my speed and techinque."

"Hi there, Pittsburgh artist, just keeping up on what's going on. Hope I can make it to a session sometime."
-
"always down to tighten up my skills as an artist. drawing figures, especially nudes are one of the hardest things for me. so i am very excited to attend a meetup for this group."

"Can I eat your sketchbook next time, Chuck E Cheese?"
-
"I've been working as both a professional photographer and model for over 20 years, so I'm very familiar with how to work with a model and be one. "
-
"True, I was joking, by the way. I was at the last Dr. Sketchy, where you talked her into wearing a devil costume. I was also at the other one that was at Zombo gallery; where you talked her into wearing a space suit. Based on the theme this time, I'd expect her to be either a pirate or serving wench. If you can talk her into wearing a school girl uniform with loose socks..."
-
"Charles, I am the meet up on the 14th! This is the official Dr. Sketchy, we like to keep up with art monkeys all over the burgh. So we join most of the groups to help keep them aware of what we are doing and personally invite etc... Thanks for your help. Are you on our press release list? zap me an email at joe@toonseum.com and I can send you all the info on the Sketchy on the 14th with Dan Piraro. Its gonna be a blast. Just coming to see what new costume I can talk Ashley into is worth it!"
-
"Welcome You should come to the meetup on Mar. 14th. It would be perfect for you!"

"Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School Pittsburgh. Burlesque sketch. Beautifully bizarre. We welcome you all."
-
"I'll be moving into the vicinity (Y'town, OH, actually) late April, & I'm looking forward to getting back into figure drawing. See you in a couple months!"
-
"i love the human form, and i haven't drawn in a while. i'm really excited to get back into it with an active group. hope to see you all soon!"

Henna from drink and draw night... later in the night, after all the drinking and drawing and comedy (Don't ask...) It's not exactly figure drawing, but I'm still proud of it.
-
-- sketches from drink and draw on 09 January 2008 -- There should be photos of other members work on the drink and draw myspace page. I didn't have a camera at the event to take photos.
-
