Hello all, just wanted to let you know that the life drawing session at UWA on March 21st has been cancelled. Sessions will resume as normal on the 28th. Sorry about the inconvenience.
Cheers

Bring on March
At UWA here over the next two weeks we’ll be having in Victoria on the 14th and Kieren on the 21st.
A big thanks to David for coming in on the 7th, and continuing the new tradition, some pictures of work produced throughout the session (musical theme for the evening was Garbage and Pink Floyd):

Terrible cell phone pictures!
These are from the UWA session on the 28th in which Gemma was our model:
Goodbye February
Good evening all,
On February 28th we’ll be having Gemma in for the evening.
On the March 7th we’ll be having a new face (well for us at least) in with David providing his services for the evening. Just a note that yes, March 7th is a holiday, but we’ll be having a session as the Uni is still open on that day so it makes sense to take advantage of their facilities.
Cheerio
Half way through February already?
Sorry this update is delayed, but I was trying to finalise the models. I have now done so;
14 February (Hey, that’s Valentines!) – Jasmine will be our model for the evening. This is a nice treat as, after being our final model last year, she relocated to Melbourne. But, being back in Perth for a couple of weeks has allowed us the chance to have her back in.
21 February – Nin will be in for the first time in a rather long time (dang motorcycle accident keeping him out of commission).
For those of you who missed Kiah when she came in, you missed out on a special treat as she showed up revealing that she is 7 months pregnant. I’ve told her that I will certainly have to have her in again in the next 4-6 weeks as it really made for a wonderfully different human shape to draw.
In other news, but still somewhat related, there will be series of intensive seminars/workshops happening on Tuesdays in March from the 8th-29th in the same room which we do life drawing in. Titled ‘Drawing the Dead: 2D Facial Reconstruction, Anatomy & Portraiture‘, participants will produce an anatomical portrait, drawing on the techniques of art and 2D forensic facial reconstruction.
The conveyor for the event is Susan Hayes (with whom I originally organised the UWA life drawing sessions) who specialises in the facial approximation of archaeological remains. I did a 3D facial reconstruction workshop with Sue (using a replica skull and clay to rebuild muscles, fat and flesh) which was a great experience to learn about what goes on beneath the surface. If you’re interested, or want to know more, you should contact Susan on susan.hayes @ uwa.edu.au
The year rolls on
Hello all. First, a bit of a delayed thank you to Kieren for filling it on such a late notice on the 17th, and a thank you to Nigel for giving us a great last night of drawing. The music themes for their night were Arcade Fire, the Avett Brothers and Led Zeppelin.
Over the next two weeks, the models will be Kiah on the the 31st (if you haven’t had the chance to draw Kiah before than this will be a real treat, you can check out her website at http://kiah.id.au/gallery) and Lenny on the 7th (we’ve only had Lenny in once before, but when he was in he had the most awesome sideburns, a vest and a tie. If that doesn’t make for a fantastic character to draw, I do not know what does).
Starting on the non-left foot
Happy new year all.
A couple of updates;
During the summer, the Tuesday morning Fringe Studio sessions are switching to the night shift. Sessions are running from 6-9pm. People interested in going should contact Anne at adu59552 @ bigpond.net.au as spaces are limited.
And over at UWA, the Monday night sessions restart on Jan 17th. the first two models are lined up and they are Samantha on the 17th and Nigel on the 24th. This will be the last time that we will be having Nigel in as he is moving overseas.
Cheers
Last one here
Well we had the final session at UWA on Monday night. Jasmine was our model for the evening and the musical theme was Authechre. That was the last session for the year, and we’ll be returning on January 17th, not the 10th like I had said earlier. Sorry about the confusion.
The drawing sessions at the King St Arts centre also finished up for the year earlier this week with the models being Gary for the first half and Roz for the second. They are now on a break and will be returning the first Tuesday in March (and should be continuing the rest of the year in that fashion too).
Have some happy holidays everyone.
Out of date and out of dates
I did not realise that it had been so long since I had done the last update. That’s what Uni and work will do to a person.
Over the last month we’ve had in Lindsay, Keiren, Clint and Victoria.
The model for the next session, Dec 6th, is Jasmine.
This will be the last session at UWA for 2010 as we take a month off. We’ll be returning on Jan 17th for the new year. Hope everyone has a relaxing and stress free holiday season.
A short update
The King Street life drawing sessions run by Gary that usually are on a Tuesday night (which would be the upcoming Nov 2nd session) has actually been pushed back to Thursday 4th November. This is due to the Melbourne Cup and the conclusion that there may not be too many people wanting to go drawing after the festivities.
As for the UWA Monday night session, the model for the next session (the 1st), will be Nigel.
