A few times a month I attend a figure drawing workshop in Columbia, PA. Columbia is one of Pennsylvania’s river towns and it also has a slightly industrial feel. Above (left) is the center of town and to the right is the view from the window of our workshop which is on the second floor of a local bar.
Last week, one of the women in the class (Carol) very generously offered her studio for a pop up art show. The idea was you had to show work that was done from life in one of the figure drawing classes you attend. Most were from the Columbia workshop. The work was dropped off early in the week and was hung up for an opening on Friday evening. At the end of the evening, you took your work home. Carol was very interested in showing the variety of ways people present the figure and also wanted to show process so there was lots of work that was not ‘finished’ in the traditional sense of art. I was particularly interested in studying hands. Below are some examples of the work on display. Click on any piece to enlarge in new window.
Unfortunately I just started clicking away with my camera and many of the names on the tags are too hard to see. However, I know that (aside from my own work) there is work above by Carol, Stacy, and Ashley.
