Drawing Nudes...


It's hard to believe that for the last 20 weeks, artists and models have gathered together in the Founders Hall to participate in Life Drawing sessions.

Models held short gesture poses and longer extended poses while artists honed skills of composition, perception and hand-eye coordination.

The first 10 sessions breezed by and participants clamored for more. With the relaxed atmosphere and diverse age groups that included rank beginners to seasoned artists, the sessions provided a comfortable place to practice and share art basics. The group grew familiar with each other as the weeks flew by and together their dedication and focus flourished into pages of nude drawings.

So, now as the artists wrap up the last few sessions, the Art Colony is celebrating with an exhibit highlighting the artist' favorite pieces.

Join us for the opening of the Life Drawing Exhibit on Friday, April 16 at 7 pm in the Studio Building Gallery. Visit with artists and experience what Life Drawing has to offer in its simplicity and style. The exhibit will remain through May 15, Monday - Saturday, 10 am - 4 pm. See you soon!
