Figure Drawing
Sal and I went to a figure drawing session at the Society of Illustrators tonight. It was the first time I have drawn in a couple of years and I have to say it felt really good. Sometimes my brain can get stale working on the computer all of the time and doing something as hands on as drawing on paper can really ignite things. This was a fancy session that has models and live jazz musicians. Tonight was a piano player and bongo player. They did a lot of nice stuff including a few riffs off of Beatles songs and it adds a very sophisticated touch. Now I want to start going every week. Starting up again felt a lot better than I thought it would. I seemed to get in the flow pretty early and didn’t struggle as much as I was expecting. One bad thing though, is I was hoping to get my design tonight for my screen print I have to do for the upcoming Open Space gallery show. No such luck, but I do have some ideas now that I am trying to work out more in my head.
