Today I attended my first figure drawing workshop in the studio of a local Ashland artist. I'd met him during this month's First Friday artwalk, and he encouraged me to come to his workshop. It's on Monday mornings for ten bucks, and there's no instruction, which is nice. Just a series of drawings done in consecutively longer increments. First it was two-minute drawings, then five-minute drawings, then 15-minute drawings, and finally 25-minute drawings.
There were about 15 people at the workshop, with myself and another guy being the only men there. Not sure if that means that most of the artists in this town are women, or if it means that it's mainly women who are interested in figure drawing.
This is the drawing I did that I like the best. I did a few face drawings, but the paper I chose to bring had way too much tooth (rough surface) for fine detail work.
