Dr. Sketchy's, April 2010

Theme: Art for Art's Sake

Some of the ladies from the previous art session "Malice in Wonderland" returned for more posing goodness. This time they posed as some of the world's most famous paintings. I missed some of the references. My high school art teacher would be so disappointed.

1 minute each with a twist: no lifting the pencil. I have to admit, this technique really helped me loosen up.









2 minutes each

The Scream by Edvard Munch

5 minutes each (Sunflowers by Vincent van Gogh)





10 minutes (The Kiss by Gustav Klimt. There wasn't enough time to finish the costumes' details. That and the colours the models used made it a dead giveaway.)



20 minutes each

Olympia by Édouard Manet

The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli

Dr. Sketchy's, March 2010

Theme: Carnal Equinox

Didn't stay until the end this time; just wasn't feeling well all day.

Theme: Malice in Wonderland

Note to self: the new 11"x14" sketch pad is great, but it's kind of hard to use on a 8.5"x11" scanner...

Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, Ottawa, January 2010

I missed the first two sessions of this out-of-the-ordinary life drawing class. Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School started in New York in 2005 and only just showed up here in Ottawa. This time, some of the rough and ready ladies from the Rideau Valley Roller Girls Roller Derby league posed for us. The classes are currently held on the last Monday of every month at the Mercury Lounge club.

Apparently I can't spell "dastardly". Or "dolls". I blame the beer.
