Figure Drawing Sketch Class

Recent figure drawings executed over the last few weeks.

Some of these were created in my Artistic Anatomy drawing class that is held every Thursday afternoon at 3:00  at the Barrett Art Center in Poughkeepsie. A few of these were created at the weekly figure sketch class held every Tuesday and Thursday night at 7:30PM at Unison Arts in New Paltz, NY. And a few others were created at my Artistic Anatomy class at the Woodstock School of Art held every Tuesday afternoon at 1:00.

Unison Drawing Intensive

Here are a few drawings from the Figure Drawing Intensive at Unison Arts in New Paltz this Saturday....

Artistic Anatomy and the Portrait in Clay at the Woodstock School of Art

No really this time is for real. I perfected the last little teaser vid and used the entire War track Low Rider.

Spliced in footage from last week's Portrait in Clay class along with some cool vid of frank, Carol, and Pat drawing with the long stick.

Triceps

From last weeks Ecorche class..."The Triceps"

• The primary function of the triceps is to extend the elbow, which results in straightening the arm. 
• The secondary function of the triceps is fulfilled only by the long head of the muscle, which is to adduct the arm (or to bring the arm down towards the body). The triceps shares this function with the latissimus dorsi (back muscles).

Interesting to note the placement of the Long Head and how it traverses the medial and lateral heads. On flexion it bulges out prominently at the tricep tendon sheath- a flat band of tendon that angles from the elbow up and lateraly. Check it out.

The Subway Sketcher Rules!

When the Subway Sketcher arrives in the studio later that evening, they greedily open the sketchbook to sift through the gems collected that day. A glance, a smirk, an elusive quiver in the lips- they are all uncut diamonds of human experience caught in the net of the Sketchers sketchbook.
