new work by Jiwoong Cheh

Sculpture instructor Jiwoong Cheh brought in this recently finished piece to share with us yesterday. It's about 15" wide and 30" long at the base. Really amazing!

Snowflakes

It turns out I haven't done a very good job of photographing all the amazing studies everyone has been working on this past month, but next week I'll try to collect some good images of people's work for the blog. For this entry, I have a lot of photos of what's been going on around the studio:


A surprise baby shower for Justine, who is expecting twins!

figure studies in progress

These drawings are from day 2 or 3 of December's month long pose. Some of these will end up as paintings by the end of the month, so stay tuned for more photos of the process.

Jacob Collins Portrait Drawing Demo

Jacob did this portrait demo in class last week. We set up the skull next to the model and try to draw the skull for 5 minutes, then the model for 5 minutes, switching back and forth over a course of 4 hours. This approach helps to understand the underlying structure of the head and to think of the drawing as a 3-dimensional object in space.
