Wednesday, March 29, 2023, during figure drawing
This figure drawing session will focus on gesture drawing, with poses varying in length from 5 seconds to 10 minutes. This is a good way to get into figure drawing if you haven’t done it for awhile.
About 5th Wednesdays:
Some months have 5 Wednesdays. We have decided to use that ‘extra’ 5th Wednesday to change up our session a little bit and try some new ideas. We will let you know well in advance what will be different about each session.
The next 5th Wednesday after March is May 31.

In this workshop, Dan Shanahan will guide you through the process of creating a portrait with watercolor, starting with laying out your image by drawing, and completing your work using watercolor to place lights and darks to carefully create depth.
You can find Dan Shanahan at Open Figure Drawing every week, using either watercolor or pastel.
Everson will provide the material needed for the class but asks that students supply their own brushes. Students are free to bring their own other watercolor material as well. See the list below for Dan’s suggested supplies.
Supplies:
Pencil & Eraser
Brushes:
• 1/2″ round mop type brush
• 2 brushes size ranging from 6 to 10 rounds
• 1 or 2 brushes size 2 – 3 rounds
Paints:

Container with open top to hold water

Upon entering the Zoom meeting “pin” the model to your screen by
1. moving mouse over the model’s video
2. clicking the blue button with 3 dots
3. selecting Pin Video.
Consider turning off your video when the model is posing. If everyone does that, it may improve the quality of the video for all by cutting down on the amount of internet data being used by the Zoom session. There is no need to mute and turn off your video during breaks.
If you are interested, let Dan know by April 1, by 9pm. If there is no interest, the session will not be broadcast over Zoom.
