It was such a great night of sketching. Our model, Tania, brought the best out in all of us. And what a group of diverse and gifted artists, who include: Mariet Van derHeide, Emily Keppler, Sammy Wilson, Tara Holland, Maruice Hybel, Solange Hybel, Alyssa Ranker, Russell Eike, Allan Rosenberg, Grace Belmonte, Mark Hagan, Christie Washburn, Juliane Ng, and Janet Hamlin.
We had a great turnout, especially considering the daunting weather. Our models held perfect poses, and we were able to come pretty close to original scenes that looked quite like the Hopper paintings we set out to re-create. I have uploaded the original Hopper work, a photo of the scene, and the studies that came out of the session. Just wonderful. Our artists include: Alyssa Ranker, Mark Hagar, Jim McNaughton, Janine Clark, Tara Holland, Russ Eike, Grace Belmonte, Joyce Blossom, Melanie Rodriguez, Christie Washburn, Juline Ng, Liz Sayles, Jessie Dow, Janine Clarke, and Janet Hamlin. Our models were Nick and Sara holding the male/female poses, and Leigh in individual female poses.

NEXT WEEK A SPECIAL EVENT: 3 MODELS, 1 NIGHT HOPPER SCENES
Next thursday Sept. 30th we are having a very special event, posing two scenes based on Hopper paintings and doing our own viewpoint and studies of them. The paintings we are going to emulate are on this flier.
Bring your camera to shoot your viewpoint so you can continue your work after the pose is over.
Also, dress warmly as one pose will be out on the porch, weather permitting.
See you next Thursday!
