Painting from Live Nude Models
Wish, originally uploaded by plasticpumpkin.
Every Saturday at the Factory on 5th Art Space, Darla Hallmark (a local artist and teacher) is offering a $5.00 life drawing class / model opportunity.
She has a few repeat beginners and she also invites established artists to come and enjoy the chance to draw or paint from a live model (something that’s getting harder to find these days, at least in this area).
I’ve greatly enjoyed the chance to do this. Her models aren’t all magazine-slick and airbrush perfect. They’re real people, which makes for far interesting artistic expression. Wish (at left) is one of the original sumi paintings I did during the 3-hour session.
For info on attending a session, check out the Factory on 5th Art Space blog.
August 2008 Update:
Darla’s life drawing classes have moved to the Nob Hill Art Complex, located at 3812 Central, in Albuquerque, NM.
Hello I am male I have been a life model for local Art Groups for some time I enjoy studio sitings but also outdoor locations Cold in winter nice in summer.
I will pose clothed semi nude and as Art would expect nude.
I myself paint and draw and have shown my work in local gallieiers.
Many art groups here in the UK have problems getting a life model
