Drawings at the Morgan Library

Note from Cheryl Herndon:

While cruising the internet over the weekend, I found that The Morgan Library in NYC (themorgan.org) has numerous collections (including drawings by many renowned artists) available to browse while were all maintaining social distancing.

Browse and enjoy!

... For instance: Paul Cezanne SketchBook, Portrait Drawings from Durer to Picasso, Degas Drawings and Sketchbooks and many more 

Self-portraits

Online figure drawing option- THIS SATURDAY MARCH 28

Hello artists,

We hope this finds you all safe and healthy. Here is an option that one of our

artists, Trine Giaever, shared with us. It costs $10. Details below.

Live Stream | Lauren Redding (MFA 2011)

About: In lieu of our usual Open Life Drawing sessions on Saturdays, H&R Studio is presenting a Short Pose Gesture Drawing Livestream. H&R Studio will livestream a live model, working in short gesture poses, for two hours in real time. This livestream format is ideal for quickly-changing, dynamic poses as opposed to a long pose. You simply tune in and draw from home. The model will wear a Speedo as this format is more public than traditional nude modeling.

Cost: $10.00, paid via H&R Studio’s website

Date: This Saturday, March 28th

Time: 10 AM-12 Noon EST

Registration: https://handrstudio.com/livestream-demonstrations/gesture-drawing-livestream (Participants will be emailed a private link to the livestream upon receipt of registration)

Contact for questions: HarveyandReddingStudio@gmail.com

No figure drawing for April

We are so sorry, but feel it's necessary to cancel figure drawing for the month of April, at least.  We will update later about May and June.  Please add your email to follow the blog, if you don't already.

It's a difficult time for everyone.  Please stay healthy, and in touch with your friends and family.  Try a self-portrait!  You can send it to me or Janet, to post on this blog.

March 12, 2020 - Mavis

Mavis inspired us, as she always does.  We drew, taking precautions around wiping surfaces down and washing hands.  However, we will not meet for the next 3 weeks at least.  Please subscribe to the blog for updates.  And stay healthy!

Among the artists present were Adrian Menichelli, Diana, Peter Bellen, Peter Vecchio, Myles Aronowitz, Emily Clark, Shelly Luan, Edi, Debbie Herman, Lauren Boer, Sandy Bandes, and Christie Washburn.

Figure drawing is cancelled until April 9

Due to concern about spreading the coronavirus, we are cancelling the next 3 weeks of drawing.  That includes March 19, March 26, and April 2.  Hopefully, this is an overabundance of caution, and we will be able to resume on April 9.  Please check here and on Facebook for updates. 

We're sorry!

Janet, Christie, Lauren, Sandy, Dan, Bill   

We are drawing tonight March 12

Yes we will be drawing tonight at Nyack Center!  We will be taking precautions, though - wiping down surfaces, washing hands frequently, and avoiding handling food.  Please come if you are well and want to draw!
