Figure drawing
https://www.instagram.com/reel/CzY2PrVLxEW/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA=I hadn't done any figure drawing in so long so I am very glad for this opportunity to join in on Tuesdays. Drawing from life is different than using photos. The space is less defined and bends so it can be interpreted in different ways.

I am not a super realism artist. I am an artist who likes to play with mixing color and textures. Yes, they are figurative but not the super realistic version. I enjoy seeing how the layers develop into realistic colors.

Artist Calls
Submitting to Artist Calls is an important way to get work seen in person. I use media to show work but there is no comparison between seeing work online and in person. I submitted to an Arc Gallery artist-call "Black and White". and was rejected with these three pieces submitted. Art is subjective so there can sometimes be reasons the artwork is rejected that the artist is unaware of. Understood! The only thing to do is go back into the studio and keep working. Your audience will find you as long as you are able to be seen. A visual art requires seeing and so it is important to put your work out there to be seen.

Dante
This was a challenge for me which made it a lot of fun. There were moments when I was ready to start over completely but just kept working through. Horses require a lot of focus for me because of their very unique curves and shapes. He will be thought of every time a do a horse.

We had a great time at the Bedford's About Face exhibit. There was a great turn out and the art work was amazing. The range of styles and ideas created an amazing and very interesting show

Weather
I was thinking about how unusual the weather has been from what is normal and so decided to draw a skewed view of this cloud scene.
